Not sure that it's purely the cost of colour ink versus text. An IC typically 
has extra information other than the basic part - manufacturer logo, family, 
date code etc. which it would be hard to colour code completely. And if you're 
having to print some of the data as plain text, it probably makes sense to do 
it all that way.

that's OK until it falls off :-)
