Why are some pills Coloured?

That said, the associations patients make with the colors may affect how they respond to the drugs.

Why do tablets have a line down the middle?

Many pills that can be safely split have a “score”, a line down the middle of the pill, that allows for easier splitting. However, be aware that not all tablets that are scored are safe to split in half, so ask your pharmacist first. On the other hand, some tablets that are not scored can be safely cut in half.
