Are blue corn tortilla chips any healthier (or unhealthier) than the standard white/yellow kind?!

Are blue corn or red corn any healthier than the standard yellow/white variety? I did buy organic, if that helps.
Though this is not officially a vegan/ veggie question, I am a vegetarian. I figured you guys would know. I didn't have time to compare labels at the store, not sure if they would have told me anything anyways.
Answers:
As far as the 'basic' nutrients go the blue and red corn are fairly similar to yellow and white corn but there *are* minor differences.
The pigments in the darker corns have the same benefits normally applied to dark colored fruits and vegetables (for what that's worth<g>).
The most important ingredient to look for on a corn chip bag is lime (calcium hydroxide) since that makes a *huge* difference in making corn nutrients available for use by your body!
