Spinal sets are different depending on the manufacturer, therefore, I can't tell you the difference between the the "pink and blue" sets.

For your obese pt, the gauge of the needle will probably be the same, but the length would need to be different.

If I recall correctly the blue was a 22 and the pink was a 20. Pedi trays had yellow ones, which were 24s.
