Macallan,
The differant coloured labels were simply chosen during that time period.
I believe blue on white labels were the early start up colours.
By the mid 1950s a logo was introduced on the label of recording tape and reels centred by a microphone.

Black labels with the tape and microphone were stereo release,late 1950s.

From there to 1964 their label colours changed again.
