I supose that after brexit we will be returning to the more logical colour coding. Red, yellow and blue for phase colours. Red and black for live and neutral.
Makes sense doesn't it?

It would make sense, unfortunately we’re still in the IEC so it isn’t going to happen.

Somewhere in this black hole that pretends to be a computer I have a colour comparison drawing showing the difference between the old and new colours in low light, as soon as I find it I'll post it.

Tony S - I look forward to that because my own experience in low light is that Brown black and grey are easily confused. But that's just me.
No we won't because these colours have been replaced by brown, black and grey, like it or not, and yes, there are issues with the B, B & G colours.
However, this is NOTHING to do with the EU & EVERYTHING to do with the IEC, which we are, and will remain a member, because it has stuff all to do with the EU.

I have scoobed you there Sidewinder, only for your comment .
Cenelec is nothing to do with the EU and it is the Cenelec maintenance program that acts to issue advances, consequently re issues of standards. Every advance and standard to a revue period determined at inception under the revue program which Cenelec call a maintenance program.
The electrical industry will see very little change in advances, and the 18th edition will be released in July 2018. Enjoy.

Just before I started my apprenticeship. When we moved the quarries primary crusher switchroom half the wiring was RWB the other half new fangled RYB. The old boys moaned just the same as with the introduction of BBG.
Working in coal and iron plants BBG was a disaster in the making, dark and dusty RYB / RWB stood out.
