Venom #8 confirms symbiote colors matter, with red symbiotes being stronger than black. Red symbiotes signify a perfect bond with a host, potentially explaining their increased strength. The hierarchy of symbiote colors remains mostly unexplained, with green, yellow, and purple symbiotes' strengths unknown.
In short, it's color only shows that he is a different type of symbiote, with different abilities. Both Venom and Carnage are labelled as "Corrupted", meaning they indulge in violence.

Agony, Lasher, Toxin, Phage, Scream, Hybrid -- Are these symbiotes in Venom: The Last Stand? Well, it's complicated, so let's try to explain them all.
Anti-Venom may not technically be a Symbiote, but it's too good to be forgotten. This inversion in color scheme, powers, and approach is the best spinoff from the original to date. All there other comments are right and wrong.
They're right about the comics but in this universe symbiotes behave diffrent and I'd say colour does matter. I'd say venom remembers red symbiotes on his home planet and knows they are the wildcard crazy tentacle ones. The most predominant symbiote in Sony's Venom trilogy, the black and white symbiote known as Venom crash-lands on Earth along with three other symbiotes who'd been captured by the Life Foundation.
The symbiotes are then taken to labs in San Francisco, where Venom is discovered by journalist Eddie Brock, who'd broken into the facility.
