Harbor Freight charges $1 extra for green extension cords instead of orange

Might be a nudge to get people to default to orange and only buy green if they really want it to make their stock needs more predictable.
It actually might be related to the cost of the color of the jacketing itself. The different dyes used in plastic production have varying costs, in lots of cases.
It's likely lower volume too, so the cost in switching brings a higher opportunity/downtime cost on smaller runs.
Good points! One might need an additional catalyst or flex additive, as well.
