Plasmor Fibolite do not have colour coding.
Any decent bricklayer will tell the difference by picking up a block.
100mm 3.6N fibolite with a moisture content of 3%will weigh in at approx 8.3kg.
Ditto 7.3N at approx 9.3kg.
However when unloaded a 3.6N can weigh in at approx 10kg.
Ditto a 7.3N can weigh in at 11kg All depends on moisture content.

I now have direct info from Plasmor - I visited them today. Thanks Plasmor for being so helpful.
3.6 Newton (actually N/mm2) blocks have a yellow stripe, dry density 850/ kg/m3
7.3 Newton have a red stripe, dry density 950 kg/m3
It would take a good Brickie to identify the (dry) weight difference, at least without one of each block in each hand. (I know, I had two very experienced Brickies try it)
Do you actually understand the concept of compressive strength of blocks ? And the allowable loads imposed on a wall ? And why SE's actually calculate wall loadings ? FFS too
