Disclaimer: Using Analysis of history and my understand if it I came up with this. In short this is my best guess.

The slip was most likely printed in triplicate (1 for the IRS, 1 for the employer and 1 for the employee). The original was white, second copy was yellow and the employee copy was pink (should of been sky-blue for a calming effect).
