White - Standard, normal, boring ol' humdrum yeah yeah etc.
Red - High chance of failure - however, successes grant a high bonus to progress. Failure, however, is devastating with this one as it not only hurts durability but also greatly increases instability (sometimes on SUCCESS, too).
Rapid colors - I never bother with this one. I prefer to play it safe.
Alright I got both Armorer and Blacksmith around 8 and I have to agree with the above.
I can also add that Rapid synthesis has worked well with Rapid colors, but it also worked well with Gold.
I think Rapid Colors has the same benefits as Gold, but without the added chances of success.
