Spotify Blend Colors?

I noticed that the blends one makes with friends have different colored dots, and i am curious as to why! Someone on Reddit suggested that it had to do with the percentage similarity - which checks out for my two purple blends, which are 73% and 75%; but I also have two red blends - one of which is 46% and one of which is 78%. Does anyone know how those colors are generated?

Yea and another Example - I and my girlfriend have 95% Blend similarity and while the colors of the blend are pretty similar - brighter red and darker red - it got me thinking.

I actually think that there is no system behind the colors by now because of the difference in hue. If it would correspond to our mutual % taste in music those two red circles would be a much closer hue than what it actually is. 

Another Idea would be to correlate different genres to different colors and I can imagine you might have already done that. 

Have a little info-type icon (i) somewhere next to the square explaining that.
