elI5, Why are most medication pills white?

Question

It seems like the vast majority of medication pills that I’ve seen are naturally white, unless they’re coated of course. Why aren’t any of them (or so few) other colors like green for example?

I read the question wrong. I read,
“wouldn’t it be easier to identify pills if some more of the white ones were different colors and why don’t they do that?”
