Backwards Rayven Colors?

Photos have finally surfaced of the Rayven Stinger and, from the box art we had seen before, I think most of us were expecting kind of a "Gear Up!" look for this blaster.  Most folks saw orange in that photo.  The current out-of-box photos we have show the Rayven Stinger clearly with that all-too-familiar N-Strike Yellow from the original lineup.  I can't help but think "isn't this backwards"?

Think back to March of 2012 when the Rayven first came out as part of the "Light It Up" series alongside the Lumitron.  It was that glowy green color and, while it had the ability to mount accessories... pretty much every accessory looked awful on it thanks to the colorscheme.  A year later, the Rayven got Elite treatment and went blue, so some accessories from that lineup matched it and made it look decent.  Now all of a sudden we seem to be back to the original N-Strike colors, which was the norm when the Rayven made it's initial debut.  

So, in a nutshell, the Rayven started off by not matching anything, then to being colored like the rest of the Elite lineup, and now it's more apt to blend in with the original N-Strike lineup that it was released with?  Doesn't make a whole lotta sense to me!

In any case, does this new Rayven Stinger with it's yellow darts mean the Elite Lineup itself is moving towards changing colorschemes?  Or is this the Rayven trying to stand out from the lineup yet again?
