Experts consulted by Indianexpress.com explain that colour codes are used in manufacturing for colour sensors to indicate where the tube should be sealed, not to denote the ingredients.

Common colours on toothpaste tubes include red, green, blue, and black, but they can be any shade and do not indicate the nature of the product's ingredients.

These codes are part of the manufacturing process, helping sensors in factories produce millions of tubes daily by using colour science to locate the crimp placement.

There is no need to worry about these colour codes. For accurate information about the contents of toothpaste, consumers should read the ingredient list on the packaging or consult a dentist.
