    Sleeving colour for cable screen/shield

    Where screened pairs are used, such as for analogue controls, what colour sleeving do you use? I've always used green and yellow but as it's not providing a safety function or ads should it be cream? Does anyone know where it could be sourced?

    Sleeving on Stapper Cable

    I am about to change two, two way switches which have the old colours Red, Yellow and Blue for the strapper cable, only the black switched live to the ceiling rose has a piece of red tape on it to idenitify switched live, should the Yellow and Blue also have red table on with these also being live.
