In MaRo's last article on the mother site, The Bleed Story, mentions this in the middle of it:
"Normally black and green (and to a lesser extent white) are the graveyard colors, but in a set about the graveyard, we bleed to areas that blue and red make sense in."
Why, of all the examples you can use for color bleed, do u use this?
I think the answer is simple: Innistrad is definitely a Graveyard set.
"Normally only blue interacts positively with artifacts (and maybe white with Equipment), but in an artifact set, we bleed to areas in black, red and green where it makes sense."
Would you think that Innistrad was an artifact set?

Everyone else's thoughts?
You don't read his articles much do you?
He's made that point at least three times in his articles. The reason....
Oddessy. Oddessy was a graveyard block, so every color got graveyard mechanics even though for some of them (like blue) they normally don't. This is an example he likes to use when discussing color bleed. It's a clear example of a color doing something it shouldn't for the sake of the theme.

TBH I think this is pretty unfounded.
Doesn't mean anything, but there's the past reference.
