The coloured stuff is for scaffold/roll cages and too thick.
I asked Steve ages ago as he has done a little research into pad reproduction in his time.
He said the coloured stuff isn't out there.
I had a look anyway and found his research was sound.

Red, yellow, blue will leave you looking for old padsets as doners.
Some pretty cheap original old no name padsets do come up on eBay.com now and again . You just have to keep an eye out.

Raleigh burner pads :daumenhoch:
Red on the nightburner, not sure but the 2nd edition basic red burner with the velcro pads may have had yellow foam.
If you want blue it could end up been a costly exercise, at the moment i can only see seperates on ebay.com
