Default OS4 classic reboot cycle colours?

When OS4 Classic does it's reboot sequence, it goes through a cycle of colours. Does anyone know what each colour represents?

Take a look at:
Amiga History Guide
which shows what your classic does at start-up.
I assume the colours are the same for OS4 since this is all done in Kickstart.

OK bad guess.
As you can tell I don't have OS4.

I kind of figured, since it really sticks out at you the first time you run the OS4 installation :-)

I found it's pretty hard to guess what OS4 is like until you have it. Surprisingly, it's exactly what I always thought it should be like. It's 100% Amiga-like. This was not what I expected.

So is there any clue on the colour sequence?
The very first time I saw it, I thought the blue colour was the Algor`s flash ROM... (now it`s erased, so it has nothing to do with it).

The first time I saw that on my 1200 I thought something was terribly wrong and almost grabbed the power switch!:-D Interesting that the colors only show up on the native Amiga display output and not the Bvision out. I would also like to know what they represent.
