    The blue can be placed before the red or the red before the blue.

    7 distinct balls have a permutation of 5040 while 5 distinct balls have a permutation of 120.

    Each permutation of the reds can be combined with each permutation of the blues giving 5040*120=604800.

    Double this to 1209600 to allow for the two positioning for red and blue.
