Clear is silicone, yellow is latex.
What is the difference between teats made of latex and of silicone?
NUK Latex teats are made of natural latex, a high-quality, natural material. Latex is particularly durable - it possesses excellent resistance to pulling, helps prevent tears from splitting further and is extremely elastic. As latex is a natural material the fat in the nourishment can cause it to age. It also needs to be stored carefully, as direct sunlight ages the natural material more quickly. A rule of the thumb is that a latex teat should be replaced every 4 - 6 weeks, and certainly once it starts to become sticky.
NUK Silicone teats are made of high-quality plastic. The transparent silicone material is particularly temperature-resistant. Even direct sunlight and fats do not cause the material to age. Silicone is, however, more easily scratched. A silicone teat should therefore be replaced at the first signs of teeth marks or other damage. This is why NUK silicone soothers are only available in Sizes 1 and 2.
Whichever material you decide upon, depends on your particular wishes or preference. Of course you can change from one to the other if you wish. If your baby initially rejects a new latex teat because of its typical taste, then simply boil it for 3 minutes in milk! This will neutralise the taste, although the teat will then age more quickly due to the fat in the milk.
This is the same for pacifiers/dummies as is teats
good luck!

Latex is the yellow, silicone is the clear. I know that the packaging will definitely say if it's silicone, not sure if the latex ones will specify.
