In vacuum all the colours are equally fast, but in air red is slightly faster.

The calculation of wavelength dependent dispersion in a medium of refractive index 1.0003 is left as an exercise for the reader. For the advanced student derivation of the wavelength dependent refractive index of air should provide an interesting challenge.


For the rest of us, the colour doesn't matter - pointy is faster.
