What is the difference between a red seal and blue on US silver certificates?

If you're referring to small-size bills printed in 1928 or later, there are no red-seal silver certificates. Starting that year the Treasury adopted standardized seal colors:
- Green = Federal Reserve Note
- Blue = Silver Certificate
- Red = United States Note
- Gold = Gold Certificate
- Brown = National Currency Note
Because many people aren't familiar with all of these older types they tend to assume all old bills must be silver certificates. However if you check the seal color and the banner across the bill's top front it's easy to tell the difference.
The situation is more complicated for bills printed before 1928. There were no standard seal colors, so it's possible to find just about any combination of seal color and bill type.

When were US silver certificates printed?
The first US silver certificates were $10 bills dated 1878. Other denominations soon followed. The last silver certificates were $1 bills printed in either 1964 or 1965, according to different sources, but all were issued as part of the 1935H or 1957B series. The most commonly-issued silver certificates were $1, $5, and $10, but at one time or another all other denominations up to $1000 were also printed as silver certificates. In 1928 the Treasury standardized bills' seal colors. Blue was used for silver certificates; the only exception was during WWII when special bills carrying brown or yellow seals were printed for use in threatened areas. Silver certificates were precious-metal obligations of the Treasury. That is, the total value of certificates in circulation was limited to a matching amount of silver on deposit with the government. When demand for silver skyrocketed in the early 1960s its price rose and supply fell, breaking the stable connection between the bills in circulation and the value of silver. The Treasury could no longer back each certificate with silver coins or bullion, so production of silver certificates had to be discontinued.
