What happened to colors

These are a great binder originally available in 1 1.5 2 and 3 inch in White Black Blue and red/burgandy. Suddenly the selection is absurd one size has 1 or 2 colors. What happened to the broad selection
Lets start off with some strong points. This binder is nearly indestructible. It will stand up to any abuse you throw at it. The rubberized edges and plastic covers shrug off damage. The spine window being easily changed and highly visible makes labeling and retrieving specific volumes from multiple similar copies a fast and easy task. Now for the disadvantages. The rings while strong closing are misaligned. Pages often snag on the uneven surfaces. Anything near this binder's capacity makes page turning a nightmare. The cover window is extremely loose. Coversheets frequently fall out. Hopefully the Better Binder mark II will fix these problems.
I love the fact that it's just as heavy as the material that you place in it yet more durable than those other binders. Its unique spine label makes it more attractive than other binders.
I liked the ruggedness of the outside but the rings lack quality. When you get a lot of papers in the binder it is not easy to flip through the papers. The rings don't close tightly either. I'm always afraid it's going to open up when I'm turning pages.
Great binder super durable a good value because it won't soon break. Not more expensive than inferior products. I use it for school purposes I am a teacher aide love the large sizes for organization.
