Of course they are sold everywhere but I have a HD near me.

I see these multipacks in red, blue or green packaging and am trying to
figure out which one is good for what purpose.

I have a normal home with all kind of spaces: lobby, stairs, hallway,
various rooms, porch, garage, basement, laundry, etc. I would like to
replace every light I can by an energy-saver and would be grateful for
any guidance about the different types, which is good for what.

I see you got plenty of good information, but let me add a bit more. Don't
be too quick to change all of your lights. If you have a bulb that gets
just a few minutes of use a month, just leave it until the bulb burns out.
I have on light in my basement that is rarely used and I don't recall ever
changing the bulb. Potential energy savings are offset by the cost of the
CF replacement.
