all mostly red and yellow

Bahco
Irazola
Klein

all mostly a funny orange colour

why not grey , green or blue or even black ??
 
I keep losing them in those colours, I would have no kit left if they were black!

I am actually quite surprised nobody has made a set of vde tools in say dayglo yellow , much easier to spot if you drop in a void or under floor boards....

CK do some glowing vde drivers I think.

Does vde certification have any specifications regarding colour ?
I don't think so as I have seen black/green handle vde screwdrivers on sale in Europe made by Wago iirc
