I'll reference the wiki's data here to make things as simple as possible for those looking for info on this.

http://warframe.wikia.com/wiki/Mining

As far as color goes. "Red spots denote Ores, while Blue spots denote Gems."

'''As far as quantity and quality. "' The more accurate the trace during cutting, the better the quality, which directly affects the quantity of minerals that will be given upon completion. "

'As far as eidolon gems  (Sentirum or Nyth).  ''"Additionally, the Advanced Nosam Cutter has a minimap radar and - depending on the quality of the cut - a 15% ~ 30% chance of extracting an Eidolon Gem"

Myths''' Day or night make a difference'': No. Cutting via the lines doesn't give more Eidolon gems: Correct. It gives a better chance of getting one.

I hope this helps clear some things up.
