[QUOTE="sprocketflup, post: 482797, member: 12165"] Modern colours for twin and earth are Brown and blue, with a bare earth wire that gets sleeved with green and yellow sleeving. 3 core and earth colours are brown black and grey, again with the bare earth. The browns are 'usually' permanent live, though that may not be the case , the blues can be neutral or live depending on how its been wired, same for the grey and the black. You really need to have some sort of meter to determine what's what. The only thing we can say for certain is that the earths 'should not' have been used for anything other than earth. Though if its been wired by a DIYer...... [/QUOTE]
