I find it entertaining that Revelation is given it’s own category. Wouldn’t it be more appropriate to link it to “Works of Apostle John” that way you could group it with the Gospel of John; 1st, 2nd, 3rd John, and Revelation? At least so it’s a more useful distinction.

Good question and thanks for the feedback.

It's tough to be 100% consistent with a categorization due to the traditional order of books, but this scheme is generally based on genre rather than individual author. So of the works attributed to John, one is gospel/narrative, three are letters/epistles, and one is apocalyptic/prophetic, hence the three different colors. There are other helpful divisions (undisputed Pauline vs. disputed, major vs. minor prophets, etc.), so maybe it'd be good to offer some options in the color/genre breakdowns.
