Iirc, you can only choose red, blue, black, and green. Maybe other colors are possible, but not preferred (I can see a white passport looking pretty rough after a couple years, if you’re a heavy traveler). No idea why they wouldn’t stick with red though.
You can see the text on the front of them for what they are for. Blue are regular passports for casual travel. Red are diplomatic passports for high ranking officials. Green are special passports for senators, MPs or government workers on official business. White temporary passports are usually issued abroad where a Canadian citizen has an urgent requirement to travel but doesn’t have a passport for whatever reason.
Why blue? White with red trimming would be nicer.

I believe red is usually reserved for diplomatic type passports.
EU passports are red (burgundy)
Not Croatia, but yes, all others it seems.
However, in Canada, the country in question, diplomatic passports (red cover) are issued to high-ranking Government of Canada officials and diplomats, as well as representatives and delegates of the Government of Canada to international governmental organizations and international conferences of a diplomatic nature.
Swiss passports are bright red fwiw.
Singapore?
And the EU have burgundy which is red-adjacent
Unless I’m mistaken, that’s a Canadian passport pictured and in Canada red (maroon) passports are diplomatic.
White are temporary passports for Canadian citizens outside Canada who require passports but their regular passport application is being processed.
