Some decks, while using the French suits, give each suit a different color to make the suits more distinct from each other. In Bridge, such decks are known as “no-revoke” decks (because it is harder to accidentally “renege” on a contract by not following suit) and the most common colors are black Spades, red Hearts, blue Diamonds and green Clubs. A recent related set occasionally used in Germany uses green Spades (compare to Leaves), red Hearts, yellow Diamonds (compare to Bells) and black Clubs (compare to Acorns). This is a compromise deck devised to allow players from East Germany (who used German suits) and West Germany (who adopted the French suits) to be comfortable with the same deck when playing tournament Skat after the Reunification.
