Fuel Injector color coding question

I am thinking of replacing the Injectors on a 89 Max SE. anybody knows what the difference between black marking and blue marking injectors?

thanks for the reply.

UMMM wrong!
Bosch doesn't make 2 different parts #s for no valid reason.
There is a difference between them. Just can't recall what it is at the moment (dam senility)

my friend has both black and blue injectors in his 91 brougham and his car runs like a dream. i would just be cautious of running ve an vg injectors together though.
but if i'm wrong someone tell me why so i don't end up making a mistake with my injectors....bah the blue dot is what i use and i already have two extras kicking around, so i'm cool.

Black can always replace blue
Blue shouldn't replace black
the difference between them is a bit o' resistance
running VE and VG injectors together is a nono different flow rates.
