Different colors of painter's tape often indicate varying levels of adhesion and intended surfaces. For example, blue tape is commonly used for delicate surfaces and offers moderate adhesion, while green tape is designed for rougher surfaces and provides stronger adhesion. Yellow tape is usually for multi-surface use, and purple tape is often intended for specialized applications, such as on textured or irregular surfaces. Always check the manufacturer's specifications for the best use of each tape type.

Painters tape works by sealing out the air bubbles that could cause paint to seep through. It is also easy to remove.
Blue, Yellow, green, green and yellow striped, grey and red are the ones I know. :)
Blue painters tape has A special glue that lets it release more easilly than regular masking tape even though it has plenty of grip for painting, it also does not bleed very bad, it also keeps A sharper edge.
Painters' tape isn't always blue, sometimes it's green, depending on the manufacturer. However, painters' tape is made in color to differentiate it from regular masking tape. This makes it easier to identify in both the retail store and the toolbox. Masking tape has more and more aggressive adhesive on it, when it is removed from painted surfaces it can and often does, leave an adhesive residue behind or remove some of the top coat of the paint. Painter's tape is designed to be easily removed with the least amount of damage/cleanup. This is not to say you can leave painters' tape on a surface indefinitely and have it come off with no difficulties.
