Well, maybe they changed their mind after they found out it didn't work.
In the kickoff video, when they were introducing the vision system, they said that teams could use the camera to go after the vision tetras, the little yellow triangles, and the auto-loading zones. Also, the CMUCam utility did have red and blue calibration buttons, and they did specidy the exact paint they were using on the auto-loaders. When I was down in St. Louis, I helped to calibrate the cameras, and they had me get numbers for the red and blue zones too.
But, like I said, I think (hope!) they have learned at this point that the blue (and possibly red and yellow) doesn't work
