Playbill question

I've noticed that the covers of some Playbills for shows from the 1970s and 80s were color and some weren't. Anybody know why? Just curious.

This still goes on today.

All about the green paper.
"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."
