Race Gas: Red vs. Blue

[P-Money]

I just discovered I can get Rockett Brand 111 right down the road from my house (about a mile). The 111 octane is Red. Or I can drive 60 miles to get Sunoco 112 (blue).
I'm assuming the red vs. blueis just the tint they add to the fuel, but wanted to check before I moved forward. Thoughts?
Here is a link to info about Rockett Brand.

I think it depends on how you voted in the last election.

Don't different brands of fuel have different specific gravities?
Couldn't this have an effect on fuel molecule size in respect to jetting?

For years 76/Sunocco 100 octane was called windex because of the lite blue color.
Then all the other colors with the other octanes.
They may still mean something, but we bought almost all octanes of all brands this past 2 years (to blend), and the colors seem to not mean anything anymore.
Just my personal ops, but I could be wrong.
Tricks racing fuels all seem to be the same dark color.
Sunocco sometimes blue, sometimes clear,,

I think the airline industry started with the fuel tinting so folks would not fill their airplanes with unleaded fuel and blow them to pieces at 5,000 feet. It was a safety thing...........
You are splitting hairs between 111 and 112. Tell us about your engine.

yeah, I try to avoid buying my gas and motor oil based on the color

I'm not worried about the 1 octane difference, just wanted to make sure the color difference was a result of tint ONLY.
