Can anyone verify the colours that brake pipes should be painted please?

During LNER period Vac braked - black standpipe and Vac piped - red standpipe.

Which means the flexible bag itself was not always the colour of the fixed pipe?

And Air?

Which is one of the reasons I posted in Railway Chat rather than LNER.

In the days of steam, all the pipes were so grotty it was difficult to see any colour. As Micky says, the vacuum pipes were ribbed, the steam heat were smooth also had a shut off valve at the base and a totally different coupling.

I agree with Bicam, dirty is the only shade needed except ex works for the first few weeks.
Don't forget they were open to the elements never got cleaned and the worst was not on tenders but the one on the coach to be coupled to and between coaches, splash up from the track including toilets was there as well.
