No builder's supply stores here in Arizona sell either one, but from what I have read on these forums, the only real difference between the two is the brand name -- one is from Dow and the other is from Owens-Corning.

 One is made by Owens-Corning (pink) and one is made by Dow (blue). Pretty much the same stuff.

Color.

BTW. I paint them immediately with a collection of browns.

thanks for your reply, so there is no difference between their workability or how they accept different paints or glues? Forsome reason i thought I read somewhere that the pink foam was better. I work at Lowe's and all they have is the blue so that soves my problem.
