It is my understanding the new seals are red in color. Isn't the blue one that there were so many problems with the seal?

These replacement seals from American Standard are still blue, and have not been upgraded as of July, 2015 (confirmed by an AS rep). The problem is that (some?) of them-- OEM and replacement-- absorb water over time (!) and develop small blisters which break the water tight seal on the flush valve, causing "ghost flushes." One of my two Champion 4 Max toilets started doing this after only 4 months; the other is still okay. Since the replacement seals are identical, they could fail in the same way. I punctured and drained the blisters in my bad seal, hoping that it is now "full" and won't blister again. It's been okay for several weeks; we'll see...

We had nothing but problems with the blue seal that we ordered from a Champion supplier. We were about to just take the entire inside out and replace with a new system, but took a look at Lowe's and found a seal that works----no more running toilet! The brand is Korky and says on the package that it fits the Champio 4/Titan 4 seal. It is red in color and works! It is much cheaper than ordering the blue one online. Just a few bucks.

I received new blue seal kits last year from American Standard to try and remedy my brand new leaking toilets having phantom fills. It turned out that the whole flush valve needed replaced. American Standard sent me two flush valve kits and no more phantom tank fills. Their customer service is pretty good with prompt replies.

A company called Corky makes red seals. The Corky ones have only been lasting me a few weeks. The American Standard ones have been lasting a lot longer.

Sorry. To answer your question, I'm not sure if they changed the color of the seals. Never had the problem of leaks at the top of the flush valve. I've noticed the tank draining below the blue seal. And that's when I got on American Standard's website for answers.

I do not remember the colors except that the third party seal I bought locally was a different color and it did not work. American Standard was the original manufacturer and their seal has worked very well for several months now. We had a remove it and re-install it about three times until it stopped leaking through. It is not clear why I had to re-install but I think we tightened it a little more the final time.

Mine was red just like the picture. I'm not sure if that's the case for all of them though.

The blue one was blue...but we had a clear one w/ducks that was truly clear. It broke before it had a chance to yellow...(we are plus size...)

no I haven't experienced those issues. Perhaps the poor seal is to blame, I would return and try another shipment.

It's probably a mistake ? I've never seen the red one. only the other 3 options

Toyota corporation and also my local dealer informed me that toyota switched from green to red. Also, have read and believe it also, that the red can be seen easily on a leak. It leaves a residue that is very visible. I do not know why they switched but that is what they told me at Toyota and I have an Avalon.

There's a variety of products from this line with very similar names. From what I've noticed though the blue is just new packaging. Just made sure it's the same one when you pick one over the other white vs blue.

I bought two of these last year ... one blue and one red. The red set was all red and so was the blue.

Oh, I wanted to tell you that the original color was gray, then came red, and the most recent color lids are the blue ones. I believe the red (Chilli) is discontinued, so if you want the red ones, grab them on Amazon.com !!

I really don't know. I never had any of the blue lids, but, given the way the red ones are made, I can't imagine that the blue ones work work.

When I emailed Seals, this is their response to me: "Our first advice is to not shop our products on Amazon since we do not sell to Amazon and cannot attest to the authenticity or model year of what is sold on Amazon under the Seals brand." Sorry guys and girls.

Mine has red latches, but a friend of mine has yellow ones. Mine is older. So, maybe the old ones had red and now they are yellow....I'm not sure.

I received the new packaging too. And it made me go the Neocutis' website and search there. And it does show the new blue bottle. I actually find the new look better. The bottle is more oval and a bit bigger making it not topple over easily since I tend to over crowd my medicine cabinet. Also, I feel that the container is more sturdy. In the past, I end up with cracked top cover from the bottle falling over, or from packing it for travel. Other than that the product itself hasnt changed. just fyi

They make Black and also Red Gryphon's. I have not seen a Blue one yet. I think the picture is bad and it's really a Black one that has a Blue tint in the picture.

I just got it in the mail today.but sadly the clear seems to be the same finish as the standard :|bummer I had to break the packaging seal to check, now it's probably not returnable. oh well...now I have a replacement at least :)
