The motive bleeder is made to "pressurize" the system. You put fluid in the bleeder, then connect it to the resevoir in your car. When you open the bleeder screw on the caliper, the motive bleeder provided the pressure to push the fluid thru the lines. It is NOT a vacumn style bleeder.

You will need to bleed your calipers if you remove them from your car to prevent any air from entering the braking system. As mentioned, a full brake fluid flush should be done every 2 years to keep the fuid and lines in good shape.

As for color? What color is your car? I find red a poser color (ie, trying to imitate the S brakes) but it tends to work well with many car exterior colors.
