Blue are most important
Gold are rarely good
Red are least important (for short parties)

or you can just open them all.. except soothing light to keep it simple >_>

you will figure out which ones are less useful eventually and not waste keys on them

(like the 200 cruor or 250 exp ones :o)

some leaders might have a heart about certain red chests.. so just roll with w/e lights they want..

most good pt's tho.. can open any red chest and nothing bad will happen.

blue is exp / cruor / time / temporary items

gold is AF / sythesis materials / spells / key items (nm trigger)

red is abyssea lights.. which affects drop rates of all chests types

but you can keep it simple.. just open them all except ones that say soothing light...

and make sure to tell everybody what is in the gold chest too

"Intense soothing light" is 2hour reset and full-restore. It only comes in blue chests with capped azure light.

most of the time people dont listen when doing abyssea pt's, or stuff simply happens to quickly and there is lag. the setup is usually for azure light build first then pearl light build, but because quickness/lag/people not listening, you will be building azure and pearl at the same time, so either will do if you get them in chests.. they dont negate or harm builds

Keying is by far the easiest abyssea job. That being said, it pisses me off when the key person still has to cut corners. Like when they just key everything without looking. Especially if im on smn or war and want the intense lights.

Concerning red boxes:

If you're in an exp party, contrary to what people think for some reason, you want some Ruby. You don't want it to drown out Azure though, so use your judgment on it. Amber lights are generally a good thing to pick up whenever you see them unless you get too many at the beginning (gold box light). Gold is very good to always key (+ exp) and Silver doesn't hurt but is pretty useless (+Cruor/mob). Ebon is a bit difficult but appears to amplify all existing lights, so can't hurt. Pearl is always safe to open.
