Thread carefully here

While CENELEC have standard colours may countries have exceptions

e.g. UK:- Red, Yellow, Blue, Black, Green/Yellow (L1,L2,L3, N, PE)

Ireland (and most of the rest of the CENELEC countries)

Brown, Red, Yellow, Blue, Green/Yellow (L1,L2,L3, N, PE)

BUT

From the end of this year the colour codes will finally be finalised in Europe (including our English collegues)

to: Brown, Black, Grey, Blue, Green/Yellow (L1,L2,L3, N, PE)

I assume when you mention BS EN that your application is in the UK. So you should use Red, Yellow, Blue, Black, Green/Yellow until the CENELEC paneuropean colour code is formally issued
