An important nuance to keep in mind is that we are not supposed to see color annotations. So by their very nature, they will only appear in a fraction of manuscripts where they were actually used. If writing them in the margin to be cut off was the norm, we wouldn't even know they were ever there. So we only see them when a MS is unfinished or finished somewhat carelessly.
