BS7671 permits the use of other colours as long as the ends of the wires
are
clearly labelled "L1", "L2" etc. I guess the installers simply didn't have
any grey cable.

No, this is an armoured underground cable with cores in the colours
stated.

Then it doesn't conform to EU harmonised colours.

L1 is brown, yet your picture has "negro" against L1, so I'm not sure that
we can place any confidence in its veracity.

shrug I took the photo, and have seen the installation several times.
Here's another photo, since you seem to have trouble handling the truth:

The "truth" is that the harmonised colours for three-phase are brown, black
and grey. If anyone is having problems handling the the truth then its you
I'm afraid. The photos only tell us about the one installation, who says it
conforms to the harmonised colours?

Its quite possible that the colours written-in are old pre-harmonisation
Spanish colours.
