Anyone able to tell me what it was? At that point the 2.5 was yellow/gold, and the 2.0 was red

I recall that the 2.5 was blue, the 2.0 red, and the 1.5 turquoise green .. and the 1.0 yellow, the 0.5 orange.

Like the two just left of centre in this picture

Thanks very much. Should have said I was looking for the series with anodised coloured cam lobes. The ones I have are definitively 2.5 yellow/gold and 2.0 red (which actually appear to be in your picture right of centre)

Ah! I didn't have any from that period. This thread may help?

The Technical Friend varied quite a lot I think. I think early iterations just alternated between red and gold across the board. 

I have the biggest boy (6 is it?) and it's in red rather than green. 

I have a feeling the 1.5 was silver. I also had a 1.75 at one point and I'm sure that was green.

Thanks very much all. It looks like grey/silver is the answer

Same as the DMM 3/4CUs at the time, 1.5 was grey as stated above, 1 is gold in the below link and 1.75 is green:
