The color actually depends on the BRAND. All are not the same. You want the thread-lock that does not require heat to break. 
LOCTITE brands: 242 blue = temporary and removable (you want this)
271 red & 680 green = permanent and can only be removed with heat. Trust me, getting red LOCTITE brand off is a BEAR!

The post above is why. I don't think you're in trouble, it will just be more difficult the next time you take them off. If you have to take them off just heat them up real good.
