Blue is Ventilin This is a RELIEVER for use DURING an Asthma Attack

Beige is Becotide this is a PREVENTER normally taken a regular intervals perhaps twice a day to prevent an attack happening

Other Answers:
What do you mean by "pumps"? Inhalers? If that's what you mean, the companies that make them package them differently according to what each contains. There are several asthmas meds for maintainance and for rescue and the colors of the packaging vary.
the blue one is to open your airways,the beige one is a preventer to stop the airways from closing again
