[Star Wars] Why did the the blaster color change from "Blue" for the Republic's Clone Troopers to "Red" for the Empire's Storm Troopers?

To expand on what others have said The DC series (The blasters the clones used) were a plasma based blaster design that was more effective against droids while still being fairly lethal to organics. However most blasters, like the E-11  Storm Troopers had, used particle beams. Particle beams were strong enough to reliably take down battle droids, were even more effective against biological targets and used less gas.
