Someone should make a compendium of all the "Tell HN: Merry Christmas" and corresponding "Ask HN: Why did the colors change?" threads over the years. It would be fun, and is probably be a good fit for semantic search.

It's not red! You're just colorblind.
Black bar?
It’s like a grizzly bar, but mostly found on the east coast.
