Presumably so you do'nt confuse them with standard 22mm olives.

Mine are, er, not green. They're a shiny coppery brown colour, same as
regular 22mm olives (but thicker: if I get them mixed up I just try them
on a bit of pipe - 22mm olives on 22mm pipe: snug; 3/4" on 22mm: wobbly;
22mm on 3/4 pipe: no go)
