I am planning to buy two different color ropes.

Just like to know what colors will my hens and roosters attack ?

Colors are: red, yellow, green, blue or black.
 
So were supposed to pick 2 of the 5 colors you listed?
Why....what is your goal?

No, just like to know what colours to avoid getting, so my chickens wont attack and break the ropes. It for a pulley setup.
 
I wouldn't worry about the color in the least.
They will be wary of anything new you add to coop, but soon get used to it.
Use at least 1/4" rope, way stronger than a chicken could break by landing on it...
...unless you put it where they might chew on it-which you should avoid.
Why do you need 2 different colors?
I love rope and pulley systems, have several in my coop.
Whatcha building?

Okay

The ropes I using are 9mm and are go in the roof of my chicken house.

I'm using 3 color ropes to tell, which of the three doors I am opening and closing in side the chicken house, as I can't see the doors from the back of the chicken house where I have a forth door that I will be using to get the eggs out from in side the chicken house.

Make 3 pulley systems,
1) Chicken door, so I let my chickens out and lock out the roster there I getting the eggs.
2) Cleaning door, for a wheelbarrow, as my back door is to small for wheelbarrow to enter.
3) Nest boxes door, to stop hen sleeping in the nest boxes on the night time.
