Green and Blue are both classed as D1 adhesives which means they are water sensitive.

White is a D2 adhesive which means it is water resistant but not suitable for total water submersion.

Blue is whiter than green but both are suitable for domestic shower areas providing you use a highly polymer modified grout/water proof grout/epoxy grout which stops the water ever getting to them.

Blue and Green can only fix ceramic tiles, white can fix porcelain up to 150 x 150.
