The man cave project goes ahead. The old sectional garage has been

replaced? (it would be a PITA - the cable goes into the house...)

Those were the standard colours for 3 core SWA - the old three phase
ones.

It should have had sleeves on both ends using the 'normal' colours of the
time for LN&E.


+1.

And an extra +1 for saying that it should be sleeved in the colours that
were in use at the time the cable was installed (that would normally be
black sleeving over the blue and green/yellow over the yellow although
very few people did)

There is no requirement to swap the cable just because of the old colours.


Just a note that even if reused then it should be sleeved in the OLD
colours.
