That's presumably a flex?
Yes, that's correct.
The extra colour could be a switched circuit - but there's no real
standard for this. And if it is a flex, these colours aren't new, but
some 30 years old. ;-)
So if it is a switched live, it will need a red sleeve on it then.
If flex, brown would be correct. Best not to mix standards.

Oh ****. I forgot! Can I buy brown sleaving?

The same place that once sold red will now sell brown.

I dunno if the sheds sell short overpriced lengths like they do with
green/yellow, though.

My brain must be more dead than I thought :-(

Many thanks to you and Andrew for pointing out the obvious.
