Blue and red lines in layout guides

R

I know this must be a fairly fundamental question - but I have alwayss
wondered the significance of the red and blue lines in layout guides.
I know HOW to use layout guides and alter them. I also understand
RULER guides. What I don't know is WHY we are provided with both red
and blue lines in layouts - I know I can alter the position of margins
but this moves both red and blue lines. Is it possible to alter the
distance between these 2 different lines and what is their
significance. Just asking as I wonder if I'm missing something crucial
here.

Many thanks

Ron

The outside blue guides are margin limits. The pink guide is 0.1 smaller. I
think the original thought was it was an aid to keep the publication objects
inbound. There has been a discussion of these margins for years. Publisher 2003
and 07 are sans pink and blue margin guides.
