Because people don't play with greens, generally. Limit games usually try to play with the chip established for the game. It speeds the game up because people can see how many chips you put out or even grab from your stack and know what your bet is immediately.
When you have a large stack you will often offer to sell people chips for blacks or greens that they pull out of their pockets, so in that way you will sometimes color yourself up slowly over time, it just so happens that no one asked that night.
Some people will color up to blacks or higher on their own to give themselves more room. These people are stupid and will never get to post their stacks in this thread.
