Pd had to be learned. There's not much natural things in Pd. After Pd is 
learned, it may seem contextually natural that a certain thing be done a 
certain way. However, Pd doesn't have a vocabulary of colours.

(Some of my patches introduce a vocabulary of colours, such as: yellow is 
configuration; light green is monitoring; green means "start"; red means 
"record" or anything that one has to be careful with. However I've not 
been too consistent with that and I've never really tried getting other 
people into a standard of color codes)
