Why have different colour lids?
My chemicals bottles have different colours lids, like black white red yellow blue. They have different functions?

Not to my knowledge. Usually, the color lid choice is at the discretion of the chemical supplier. If you need safety info the warnings are usually
print on the bottle as well as a fire diamond. The best practice is to refer to the reagent's MSDS prior to handling... It usually gives recommended
PPE and safety precautions.

White's a colored dye, and other colors might be cheaper. Black would seem to be the cheapest, but perhaps the others are used on a per-supplier basis
to differentiate types? It's not industrially standardized, as far as I know.

Duran bottles use blue and red to colour code the material from which the lid is made
red for polybutylene terephthalate
blue for polypropylene.

A general storage code, attributed to J. T. Baker chemical company, uses different colors to indicate the primary storage consideration for a
chemical. Some of the colors are:
white = corrosive;
yellow = oxidizing and/or reactive;
red = flammable;
blue = toxic;
green = no more than a moderate hazard.
This information taken from "Illustrated Guide to Home Chemistry Experiments," by Robert Bruce Thompson.
