I'm sure that some cards are blue. Do they not also deserve a code point? This amounts to color prejudice.
If we generalize the proposal, we should encode all the various colors of cards. Further, we could denormalize the "red card" symbol into combining characters for "red" and "card". This points to a general category of colored combining characters. The only remaining question is whether the colors should be represented in the HSL or HSV color space.
