Well, sans' colour scheme is blue, with the jacket, and he uses blue attacks. Many artists stylized him with the eye glowing more blue (it is tinted more on that end of the spectrum, but it could be just more of an opal-type shading) and subsequently the same with his Gasterblasters. Papyrus' outfit is more red/orange, so I think they were going for a brotherly contrast kind of thing. Papyrus never did the kind of stuff sans does, so we never really got to see if he had that kind of side to him (also it was before the orange lasers, which were with the blue ones and probably also part of the contrast inspiration, despite Papyrus not using that orange kind of attack, and didn't really use the blue except for right before his real blue attack). Although, personally, the 'magic' stuff should be reversed (which would also create a cool contrast between them, blue using orange and orange using blue) or at least have both of their 'magic' be blue, since it's accurate with them both using blue attacks (even though sans used the light blue more, Papyrus was the first to use/came up with the blue attack they both use, with the gravity)
