Copper pipes are marked with red or blue lines sometimes to show that they are type L or type M (type L is bendable, type M is rigid and has thinner walls). Some plumbers I have seen use red paint markers for marking cuts, others use pencils or other colors of paint markers, and I've even seen china pencils used. The paint markers I've seen are similar to the ones machinists use, they tend not to wash or wipe away easily.

Copper pipes are now most commonly used in plumbing. Lead pipes were used long ago, and the word plumbing is derived from the Latin word for lead (plumbum). Iron pipes were used until relatively inexpensive copper pipes became readily available during the twentieth century.
There is no chemical reaction that will happen if galvanized pipes are connected to copper pipes via a brass intermediary. The reason is that brass does not react to either copper or zinc, the mineral used to galvanize metal pipes.
