Red State, Blue State, Who Do We Appreciate?

Political pundits are trying to determine red states and blue states based on polls. Why no green states?

Crayola has decided on a new mix of colors based on a contest in which customers suggested the names for a new set of crayons representing each of the States of the U.S.A. Can you find your favorite state amongst these colorful names?
Yellowstone, Moovaous Cheese, Coal Miner, Cherry Blossom, Space Needle, Williamsburgundy, Maple Syrup, Bee-Utah-ful, Alamo a la mode, Tennesienna, Remarkable Mount, Chile Pepper Red, Lady Liberty, Grape Hatteras, Wild Prairie Rose, Rock 'n Roll Raspberry, Panhandle Paintbrush, Oregon Trail, Independence Indigo, Coqui Green, Newport Jazzberry Festival, Palmetto, Boardwalk, Old Man Granite Gray, Las Vegas Lights, Cornhusker Yellow, Big Sky, Archway Grey, Mississippi Mud Pie, 10,000 Lakes of Blue, Motown Blues, Boston Tea Party, Aloha Aquamarine, Tater Tan, Abe Lincoln's hat, Indianappleous Red, A-maize-ing Iowa, Yellow Brick Road, Fort Knox Gold, Cajun Crawfish Orange, Lobster Red, Francis Scott Kiwi, Heart of Dixie, Kodiak Bear Brown, Grand Tanyon, Hog Wild Red, Sacra-minto-o, Pikes Peak Purple, Nutmeg, First State Fuchsia, Alligator Alley, and Sweet Georgia Peach.
Crayola employees showed their patriotic colors, adding the following names to the mix:
Amber Waves of Grain, Purple Mountain's Majesty, Greenback, Dawn's Early Light, Rockets Red Glare, Yankee Doodle Dandelion, Mom's Apple Pie, Sea to Shining Sea, Orange You Glad You're in America, Land of the Free, Fruited Plains, and America the Blue-tiful.
By the way, do you know the origins of the names of all the states, their official symbols and mottoes?
