Hi,
With the cold, the nasal passages become inflamed and this can cause slight bleeding to occur. The blood can mix with the mucus and appear as you described- red and yellow jelly. Using an oral and/or topical decongestant would be helpful.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
