I know the red ones are for a red fire, and the yellow ones are for a yellow fire, but these blue ones, and those black ones, what are they for? Also, I have decorated in mauve and peach, do you think that will make a difference in what kind of fires I have? Where can I get a mauve fire extinguisher, I am so tired, there, I said it tired of having these contraptions clashing with the Decor.

Oh, Sweets! I have a problem with the mauve. The only thing that saves you is using peach instead of the usual pairing with various shades of blues that too many have used in decorating their homes. As far as the fire extinguishers, put one of each color in a wall grouping and frame it in with a nice peach trim. Groupings like that can make it all come together. As far as the meaning of the different colors, try one, and if the flame gets larger, try another color, until one seems to diminish the flame.

The system of colour coding for different types of fire extinguishers was scrapped in the UK several years ago, they are all red now. The link below gives some information on the different types of extinguishers available.

Usually fire extinguishers are color coded for the material they have inside of them. In the UK this is what the colors mean:
Red - Water
Yellow or Cream - Foam
Blue - Dry Powder
Black - CO2
Green - Halon
Never heard of Mauve or Peach.

Don't you worry about the colors, they're all for fire. But you must be careful about one thing. If a fire starts and you're wearing yellow, please don't use the mauve extinguisher...it just doesn't...go with it.

But when was the last time you saw a mauve fire? :P

The blue ones are for blue darts.

Actually, you're wrong. The yellow ones are for dogs to piss on.

"Colour"? Where did that "u" come from?
And your roaming game makes a mockery out of YA.
