Yes, Grey. A compromise, as the original harmonization suggestion
was to have three phase wired using three black cores!

Yes, an absolutely mad decision making it impossible to have any
illuminated indicators in the phase colours

how about 1, 2 & 3?

I thought colours ought not to be relied upon anyway - unless users all
airline pilots, train drivers or others known not to be colour-blind

One reason for the change from red for 'live' green for 'earth'

before harmonization, Germany used red for earth! The point about the earth
wire is the sleeving is striped.
