All particles which represents a quantum of light and other electromagnetic radiation is called photon. The photons with the highest energies are gamma or X-rays, UV light, Blue light, and radio waves.

Energy of any given photon depends solely on light's frequency, and is calculated, using Plank-Einstein equation:

E = hν

So, the greater the frequency (or shorter wavelength), the greater the energy. In visible light spectra the most energy have violet and blue photons, while the least energy - red photons.

Those with the highest frequency/shortest wavelength.

Roughly speaking, highest to lowest: Gamma or X-Rays, UV Light, Blue light, Red Light, Infra-Red, Microwave, Radio waves.

An electron jump from the outermost to the innermost level would emit the highest energy photon being emitted.

Could an atom emit one photon of blue light after absorbing only one photon of red light?

No, it could not. A blue photon carries more energy than a red photon, since the blue photon's frequency is higher. That means one red photon wouldn't deliver enough energy to the atom to give it the energy to emit a blue photon.
