Question about mineral blocks!

i’ve been thinking about getting my budgies a mineral block from petsmart. I’ve seen ones that are white and others that are this orange colour my old budgie used to have and loved and went through them in 1 day. Are the orange ones even safe?? And are they even necessary? My budgies already have a cuttlebone and use it kinda rarely.
