question regarding OA "color status" as a marketing tool



Hello List Members,

I am working with a journal publisher on a project that touches 
on copyright and open access archiving policies.  One item that 
has come up concerns the extent to which publishers publicize 
their OA "standing" (i.e., Green, Blue, etc.).  Is this a selling 
point that content providers feel is worth trumpeting, 
particularly those who may combine liberal pre- and post-print 
rights with a subscription model?  Do they put in on their 
websites, in marketing collateral, and so forth?  Any insights 
list members can provide, either to the forum or offline, would 
be most appreciated.
