No, but that doesn't have the same potential confusion issue as mixing black and brown. I just use red tape if it's old colours. Or if I don't have my tape I sleeve everything.

I know that if you have old red sleeve on the van use it, common sense, but Benway said shopping list and just advised him not to buy Red.

Sleeving is inexpensive - if you can obtain red then in England and Wales it is illegal not to use it to sleeve a black conductor to indicate that it's live.

So your saying then Ban that you would sleeve it red and not brown

If you are working on 'old' colours then I would sleeve apropriatly with corresponding colours to the cable. In this case, all wiring is red for line/live/phase and black for neutral, imo this is the colour identification to be used. If you have added a new switch drop on blue/brown to a red/black loop in and loop out then that is another matter.
