Default Blue silicone tubes for engine bay

Im looking to give my engine bay a little bit of colour by changing up the hoses.
im thinking using Blue silicone hoses. i had a look at different forums people recommended Fluorelastomer hoses, however i find these way too expensive and dont think these come in blue.

i came across these Blue silicone Vacuum hoses

they say they withstand high temperatures, are there any negatives to using these?
anyone else use these before or recommend other types of tubes?

well you can just use solid silicone hose for vaccum. but i think the 1 ply hose is the best and most durrable and you can usually get that by the foot.

some things you just dont want to cheap out on, you will disapoint on how long it lasts, so when it comes to something like hoses they are acutally cheap for the better stuff by the foot. id rather spend 30 bucks doing my hoses then 10 bucks and have them crap out.
