The other is green coloured.
Hope this helped.
Useful for running a big circuit network across a small network without letting them interfere with eachother.
Say you have a chest and you want an inserter to know how much iron ore is in the chest and an alarm to know how much iron ore is in all chests minus that one. You could set up an arithmetic combinator on the red channel, taking the amount of ore in all chests and a green wire taking the amount of ore in that one chest. Now you can run the green wire to the inserter directly, and a wire of any colour from the combinator to the alarm.
The green wire will not show what's in all chests, just that one chest, while the red wire will not show what's in that one chest, but all other chests, despite both wires being connected to the same machines and poles.
A bit of a rubbish example, people tend to do more useful stuff with it, like running them along train tracks having green for the loading information and red for the unloading information, but I hope that example shows how the wires work on the most basic level.
