Colored Airways?

I am curious on the background behind "Colored Airways" versus "Victor Airways."

I've seen the names-- Green, Amber, Red and Blue. Where do they derive their names from? I used to think that they were strictly NDB Airways but I've seen some of them linking VOR's in some countries. I also note that some countries have renamed them "Golf, Alpha, Romeo and Bravo."

Anybody?
