Fit snugly to SM58 and similar, colours not resistant to washing
I use these windscreens primarily as a pop filter (what they are meant for, of course), but also for assigning mics by colour to a specific member of the band recording in my studio and, last but not least, for hygienic reasons, preventing a singers "produce" to creep into the mic's capsule(...) Because of the latter, I also wash them after a session. After the first wash, however, the colours faded significantly, turning the originally bright primary colours into their pastel versions - except for the black one, which remained unaltered. I think this one is made of black foam, while I think the other four are made of white foam which has been dyed. They still fit snugly to my mics, though, and are not very vulnerable when slipping them on and off. Of course, they still serve as good pop filters too, but I wonder what they will look like after a next wash - hopefully the colours remain recognizable enough for colour assignment... And consider these are much cheaper than the original black windscreens supplied by Shure themselves.

Could be better...
Not as effective as more expensive pop shields made of different materials. What they are useful for is on good quality radio mic with their own built-in windshield - helps you identify which mic is being used in conference gigs etc!

Makes identifying microphones easier
The main advantage of the differently coloured pack is that they make the microphone they're on a lot easier to tell apart. Plosive reduciton isn't great but it's something at least, and forces users to keep their mouth a little further from the mic. They're also washable and easier to see from a distance, with the advantage (For PA) that when put down they knock against tables much less.
