ANY training round will be Blue. Not necissarily completely Blue either but the Tip(minimaly) will be Blue. I've got some 40mm Training Grenade rounds @ home...blue projectile White case.

Dudes,
The training rounds for the 30mm have an aluminum casing, and a natural steel projectile with an aluminum tip. These are the dummy rounds they use to pratice reloading the gun. I have one on my bench at home...

If you wish to put a couple of practice Sidewinder missiles on your hawg then they are painted a colour similar to OD and are loaded one per pylon not on racks of 3 as per the live version.
