Short answer

Use colour only as a quick visual aid; verify plate type with its label and stock code. Show the same code on the rack and dispatch record. Set aside items with faded or unreadable labels for review, and check application suitability against technical documentation.

Colour aids sorting; it is not plate identity or application approval.
