I changed my front pads today. I noticed one slide bush on each side was blue, see picture below.
The other was shiny silver like I'd expect. Any reason for this?
All the old pads still had 3mm left down to the wear groove. All worn evenly to the eye, about 0.5mm out to the verniers. None of the sliders felt to be sticking.

I bought a set of new sliders off some web shop a few years back but after I started using silicon grease instead of the old copper grease I havent needed them. Yet.
Could the blue be some sort of teflon or something to improve corrosion resistance and sliding abilty?
