Where do blue springs come from?

Came across some blue springs for my Accord.

As an experiment I put on the fronts so far, but the
car no longer steers like a Buick as they did with
modified OEM springs and KYB gas shocks.
I also put some Honda shocks back on.

The blue springs set the front end down lower that the "street
height" of my modified OEM springs and are definitely stiffer.
I reset the alignment, and still need to make some
parts to increase my castor.
The front crossmember bolts are 3.5" off the ground
and are clearing the speed tables where I live.
----------
So my question for you folks with more Honda experience
than me: What is the most likely source of color-coded
blue Honda springs? I thought I would drive 'em for a few days
before checking the spring rates.

The color has nothing to do with drop/spring rate. But it has everything to do with manufacturing

Different companies use different colors. IE Neuspeed springs are yellow, Intrax and green and so on.

sprint springs-usually blue

suspension techniques-sometimes blue as well

but punkinterviews is correct, it has nothing to do with spring rate or ride height
