The fat controller has given you the basics, as he should as an accident investigator. He hasn't got it 100% right though (no offence fat controller). There different colours used depending on the hazard. If you browse on the internet you will find companies that sell these (Safety Shop is one of many). The main colours used are orange, red and yellow.

They are orange with black writing saying what the cargo is, so the emergency services have a better idea what they are dealing with. This boards/signs are either on the back, or the drivers side of the tanker.

There are sets of placards for the truck that are put on depending on the type of cargo. Many are red with a white background, but there are many, they vary in contrasting colors, depending on the load.
