I don't understand what you mean by "redder or darker". Color has nothing to do with it. They represent any value of n, including 0, by a bar of length = n+1. If all values on the graph are much larger than 1 the effect is negligible, but with small values like these it looks quite anomalous: the bar for 0 is 1/3 as long as a bar for 2, and half as long as a bar for 1. That tells your perception that 3x0 = 2, and 2x0 =1. That's WRONG.
