Well, this randomly came in my mind and i was wondering about it.

For coloring the client messages, i saw most of the released gamemodes have the messages used like;

SendClientMessage(playerid, -1, "{FFFF00}Hello.");

Writing the color code with the string. (It makes the timestamp white ingame :P) and other method, using a direct defined color in SendClientMessage.

Does these 2 stuffs really makes difference?

[Gazzy]

It doesn't make a difference to my knowledge, but some codes like that are because people can be too lazy to define color codes.

Nope makes no difference but as gazzy said people are too lazy to ****** SAMP COLORS. Which is a released inc that defines most colors.

No, i don't think so cause what if a person want to use multiple colors in Client message.

The only difference is in the length/capacity of a message (string). The parameter/argument doesn't take up string-length and the other one does.
