County colors

Why are the counties colored the way they are? No explanation has been given for such coloration. Rickyrab 16:03, 20 October 2011 (EDT)

Turns out they're from Wikipedia (which makes them GNU FDL, which is okay for publication, so long as source is described) and the color scheme is according to metropolitan area: "New Jersey Counties, labeled, shaded by Metropolitan Statistical Area Divisions".
