What do the different colour intros mean?

As per the Fringe Wikia article on the opening sequence, each color indicates a different
setting and the words mentioned throughout the title sequence are the particular areas of
science that will be looked at during that episode and/or series of episodes sharing an
introduction. In addition to this, the text "Observers are here" flashes during every opening
sequence except for episodes using the observers opening sequence.
The blue opening sequence is used for every episode in Season 1 and 2 except "Peter",
"Over There", and most episodes in season 3. A blue title sequence indicates that the
episode takes place in the prime universe.

The red opening sequence is used for the final episodes of season two and episodes in
season three. The red sequence indicates that the episode takes place in the alternate
universe.
There is also a red/blue opening sequence indicating that part of the episode takes place in
each universe.

The amber/yellow opening sequence was used during season four and indicated that the
episode took place during an alternate time line.

The "retro" sequence used in Peter and Subject 13 indicates the episode takes place in
1985.
There was also a black and white/monochrome opening sequence used for a single
episode - The Day We Died, signalling a dying world in the year 2036.

The Observers opening sequence was used in the episode Letters of Transit and every
episode from season five.
