I am about to change two, two way switches which have the old colours Red, Yellow and Blue for the strapper cable, only the black switched live to the ceiling rose has a piece of red tape on it to idenitify switched live, should the Yellow and Blue also have red table on with these also being live.
 
they should be red sleeved/taped, a minor infringement though if not.
 
Yes they should have been, but red is no longer used as an identifier for 240V AC single phase line conductors. Brown is.

Ensure these switches are made dead and safe before working on them.
