Ha Ha. Yes, I think you might be right there. I used to know the colour codes and fuse types for all our weapons (and the Soviet's) but it's been a long time...

Fascinating subject though as getting it wrong in the field could be catastrophic - we lost at least one ship in the Falklands because the RN EOD team that were trying to defuse a bomb didn't correctly identify it and it went off while they were trying to take the fuse out. Not their fault though, they didn't have the relevant training.

This link could provide some inspiration for Cordite colours. Deep Bronze Green anybody?
