I do agree that there seems to be way too many flavors of clone armor, and lets face it, it probably is a marketing thing to sell more toys. On the flamethrower troops though, one could say that maybe their armor is different because it's specially designed with heat resistant, flame retardant properties to protect them from high temperatures as well as allowing them to cause high temperatures. Maybe sometimes they're sent on missions to get deep inside an area and light it up from the inside, like maybe sneak inside a Geonosian hive or something and fry it from inside. The special armor could help their chances of escape afterword. And maybe they're reddish because Geonosis is? Might be just a camo for that specific planet to help them blend in better? Of course, one might also question the logic of having a loose piece of cloth like a skirt hanging off you when you and you're buddies are spewing flames every which way.
