Actually, for our purposes it's mostly that pigmentation is often achieved through addition of e.g. trace metals, and even when it's not adding pigment means you're adding another potential source of contamination! So we go for largely completely-unornamented, which mostly means clear or white(ish).
(I've then got yellow labels on the bottles for sulphur-containing compounds, red on the bromine, green on hydrochloric, black on nitric, blue on MQ, BRIGHT FUCKING ORANGE on HF and perchloric. I don't have to interact with silver-for-ethanol. :) )
