Red and blue galaxy projected correlation functions in two redshift intervals from z = 0.2 to z = 1.1, both observed in the VVDS-Deep and predicted by the SAM (mean over Omocks samples). In each panel, the solid curves correspond to SAM mean predictions while the dashed ones to the resulting mean predictions while keeping only 20% of red satellite galaxies. The filled circles (red galaxies) and filled squares (blue galaxies) correspond to VVDS-Deep measurements. Both for the VVDS-Deep and the SAM, the w_p(r_p) with higher amplitude corresponds to that of red galaxies. The SAM correlation functions are rescaled to σ₈ = 0.81 as described in Sect. 4.2.
