Seems to be purely promotional because why the hell would it need it? On the toy itself, I mean.

Addendum: Why am I being downvoted over this? I would genuinely like to know. I'm the son of a blind father who has been blind all his life. I have worked with the visually impaired for several years. If you think there's something I don't understand the purpose of, tell me, enlighten me if you think I'm wrong.

Oh yeah totally, like when they paint them orange... I mean, that's only a sensory input, why the hell do they need colours. They should just keep the packaging for the hint of braille.

Painting them is only fair. I think it'd be uninclusive to make anything for the visually impaired have no colors. Even if you're blind, you want your stuff to look good.

Which of course makes me wonder why the hell they didn't paint it...

Sorry, I think my post needed a /s. There is nothing wrong with white, and plenty of toy cars have normal writing on them - why is this different? I know some ow vision people can only see shades, so white is likely helpful for them.
