Natural Selections: Why do leopard frogs come in two colors?

I camped at Teal Lake in the Park Range to photograph fall colors, but I also enjoyed the ospreys that were hunting trout and the numerous leopard frogs at the lakeshore. Teal Lake is like many other lakes, ponds and marshes in that the leopard frogs, Rana pipiens (or Lithobates pipiens), come in two colors, brown or green.
