All ships in Endless Space have a speed (listed in Parsecs / Turn) that varies based on faction, engine modules, random events, and researched technology.
Some of these above grant a modifier that is colored blue, and some of these grant a modifier that is colored green.
What's the difference between these two modifiers?

I think the blue type of speed only applies when traveling through the cosmic strings (IE, the predescribed network), whereas the green type applies to movement straight from one system to another without the use of a connecting 'string'.
1It varies in the tech description. For instance, one speed tech grants +2 general movement and is shown in blue, and +6 movement when traveling TO a friendly star system and is shown in green. One tech grants a +8 to non cosmic string movement and is shown in blue.
On the main map, cosmic string movement is shown in blue for further turns movement (and white for this turn movement) and 'off road' movement is shown in green for further turn movements (and white for this turn movement).
