The major difference is in the formulation, specifically the ratio of saturated to unsaturated fats. Hard margarine will have a higher ratio of saturated to unsaturated fat and therefore will be more solid at room temperature. Soft margarine (sometimes called spreadable margarine) will have a lower ratio of saturated to unsaturated fat and therefore will be less solid at room temperature. At high temperatures (think summer with no A/C), soft margarine may start to separate into liquid and solid phases as the unsaturated fats melt and float to the surface.

Old fashioned type of margarine?
Came with a separate package of a coloring agent which you had to add and mix in yourself. Yellow margarine could not be purchased. Butter was yellow, margarine was white. Lard was white. Yellow was a premium product and laws were passed to insure that you couldn't peddle lard or vegetable oils as the Real Thing.
