I spent Shabbos with a family and they have (in my humble opinion) the strangest color system in their kitchen for marking milchig and fleishig. Blue – fleishig. Red – milchig
What colors do you use?
What about Parave?
Blue for blue milk, red for red milk.
As a Mashgiach for many years in Pesach hotels and other locations and workingf for many different Hashgachas i can tell you that the colors are
Red=Meat
Blue=dairy
yellow or green =Pareve
in hilchois bosor vecholov their is a simon given for milchigs and the to put scratches onto the handles and since your not aloud to change the simonim if you find a utensil with scratches you knoe its milchig the siman is “ch”aritzim “ch”alavi
now a days the universal siman is as ma brought red for meaty and blue for dairy having it different is a problem lehalocho
why would you color on your food?
Blue for Republican, red for Democrat.

Whenever anyone says that any minhag or such is “universal,” it usually isn’t.
I know several households that have different coloring schemes. We personally also use red/meat blue/dairy green or yellow/parve, but it’s certainly not universal.

Wolf: “Whenever anyone says that any minhag or such is “universal,” it usually isn’t.”
heck, the OP proves it isn’t!
I had a Modern neighbor who had green for milchig and yellow for fleishig, with the claim that they were just “being ‘original’ as long as there is a difference in color it doesn’t matter which”.
Or , They could be in the process of becoming BT”s who just got mixed up and think they are doing it right.
WOLF “universal” means by the torah obsevant Jew. Not those who want to do differently or those who have no clue.
hh should have said “nearly universal,” but it was implied. Not sure why Wolf missed the obvious implication–must be off his game.

I agree, and I wonder if, as hh suggests, it has become binding. I would think so.

Ah, so someone who keep hilchos kashrus perfectly but happens to use a different coloring scheme is not a Torah-observant Jew?

I don’t know if binding, but definitely a good idea. Otherwise you’ll probably end up with people treifing your house, and you treifing other people’s houses.
The only thing my mother and her mother-in-law ever agreed about is blue for fleishig and red for milchik. Maybe it is a yekkisher thing.

Is that what pulled your shidduch through?
