Default Red or Blue Holley gaskets

Working on My Demon carb and the primaries had Blue gaskets on the block and fuel bowl but the secondaries had Red gaskets. The yare discolored gray where the fuel is most of the time. Neither one sticks and both are reusable. The red seemed to bleed into the carb and the fuel in the secondary was slightly different colored. Red tint to it. Are the Reds for alcohol or something different?

My Mighty Demon has red gaskets on both ends. They do seem to leave residue behind. If I ever need to replace them, I'll go blue.
