Huey's prominence

The only distinct characteristics between the nephews, as a rule, is  that 
they have different names and different hat colors. In U.S.  comics this has 
generally settled into Huey-red, Dewey-blue, and  Louie-green, in that 
visual order. This is more a rule of thumb than any hard-and-fast "policy" 
on anyone's part.

In panel 1.7 of the raffle turkey pet story (WDC 75), one of Donald's 
nephews mentions his full name and possibly also the color of his cap: "The 
blue streak you see next will be Huey Duck on his way to a raffle!"

For colorist such as myself, Sue Daigle-Leach, and Scott Rockwell -  just to 
name the ones that come immediately to mind - if there is just one nephew in 
panel, and there's no narrative reason he's any one particular nephew, then 
than nephew tends to be Huey, since he's  the first nephew in visual order.

Do you mean that Huey is the default when there's just one nephew in panel? 
Where's the variation then?

Best,
