There might be something in the data, but I don't have the statistics skills to find it.
One thing I was looking for is whether there is a pattern between A and B pages. In the screenshot below I corrected the amount of A folios as if there were as few as the B folios (A are almost 3 times as many so you can't compare absolute numbers). This is from the reduced set of colors.
The shade I called "rust" is what we perceive as red. Even with correction, it is still very prevalent in A and almost absent from B. Conversely, "ironstone" and "sepia" appear somewhat more common in B. For many other colors, the corrected numbers are almost identical between A and B.
Another thing I wondered about was whether a certain shade might be more prominent on certain bifolios. But an immediate complication was that probably both sides of the same folio cannot be painted at the same time, you would have to allow for one side to dry.
