John Deere 2720
Can someone explain to me the color scheme on the hydraulic quick-connect ports. My 2720 came with Red, Black, Blue and Yellow covers. My snow blower has Green, Black, Gray and Yellow. So it is impossible to simply match the colors.

I only change connections twice a year so hooking the Red to the Red and Blue to the Blue just seems like common sense. But instead I have to remember that Red goes to Green and Blue goes to White. Duh!

Why can't I buy extra caps and covers so the hose color matches the port it plugs into?
