A very good point, Mr. Roberts. 

Some do, however, and some are self evident.
In the case of anaglyph, it is necessary to have two colors which are
exclusive of each other. 
For a color anaglyph, they need to be a color and it's complement. 
Generally red and cyan are chosen because they both transmit about the same
amount of light. 
Kodak (and others) sell  "two color separation" filters (red and cyan). I
have no idea where they get their standard from, but it seems to exist. 
That just about leaves only which eye to use for which color? Boats and
planes and anaglyph glasses have pretty much accepted a red left/port, cyan
right/starboard as a "standard" scheme. 
(But then, Edison wanted "ahoy" as the standard greeting on the phone,
instead of the fox hunters "haloo", and we all know how far that went)
