Should I get blue velvet or red rili shrimp?

I was thinking of getting blue dream but I have dark substrate and it appears that blue velvet are lighter so I would be able to see them way easier. I also like the red rili. Do the red rili have blue ish bodies? I’ve seen some that do and some that don’t. I would be getting them from either billyboiaquatics or soshrimp. Has anyone ordered these shrimp from these places?

Just get both if anything, nano shrimp tanks with colored shrimp looks cool

Blue for sure and on a light sand substrate.

It might help to look at realistically lit photos of the two on black gravel. I agree that the blue pop out a lot more. I know the lighting is a little different on both, but looking at darker images, the red blends in and looks a little like it's supposed to be part of the substrate, especially with the translucent part in the middle. I have a hard time finding my low grade cherry shrimp in my planted tank with black sand and black gravel, but if they were blue, they would be the only blue things in the tank since I only use natural (rock, plant, wood) decor. When I move my computer farther away from myself with these images side by side, the blue still pops out while the red starts to blend in a little. Especially if you have glasses for distance vision like me, blue pops more
