There are different colors for different thicknesses, depending on production tolerances, not all bearing are exactly the same. I think there is a section in the Helm's manual telling you how to compare the markings on the block and cap to figure out which one's you need.

What he said is correct(andy). You need a helms manual to figure out what bearings you need. The old bearing was too messed up to see what color it was?

Anybody have any Idea which size I might need. I'm using the 94 LS rods in my b20b block.

It depends on your block, your crank, and your rods what bearings you'll use.

I called Eagle when I did mine cause that's the rods I have. They told me exactly what I needed (green & brown). It depends on specific codes that are on the motor and what rods you have.

You could try calling Eagle, they were really friendly and the guy knew what he was talking about.

I would measure with "plastiaguage", then find out what size Honda makes, then buy accordingly.
