Rivet Color Question

I recently acquired part of a RV-9(A) tail kit, and while inventorying the new hardware I found different colored rivets. Is this something to be concerned about, or am I fretting over nothing?

The first image shows the different colored rivets, and the second shows the different markings on the rivet head.

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer, and apologies for the newbie question!
 
The dimple on the head means that it is an MS20470 AD rivet. The color has no meaning and will vary lot by lot, mfg by mfg.
