The red scrip itself will go away, but its function will live on. Currently red scrips are a currency you can get for turning in collectables at medium-high levels(from 55ish-69), and you can spend them for a variety of things(some gear, bait, materia, and a variety of other options). Currently yellow scrips are the currency available for turning in collectables at max level(68?-70), and you can spend them for a variety of "better" things(more powerful gear, better materia, exclusive materials, etc). In a month when ShB goes live red will be retired, and yellow will take over the medium-high slot(roughly 55-79) while a new color(green? orange? purple?) will take on the max slot. So the information is still useful in understanding how things generally work(as well as how they specifically do for the next 30 days), but we need to update our color guides pretty soon.
