A lot of real nice quality work all for naught. Might get away with it in a home work shop in some areas as long as your home owner's fire insurance inspector didn't see it. Emergency med supplies station in the States at least are mostly white with a green cross on them or blue with a red cross I have seen some that were red with white crosses,I doubt if there is a written law for color, except in commercial applications.
But if it looks like a fire extinguisher it is supposed to be a a fire extinguisher,so there is no chance of confusion in the event of a fire.
When I had my machine repair and fab shop I was always at war with the fire marshal over my extinguishers He wanted a certain number of dry chemical powder units hung in some of the stupidest places but I always had Foam or CO2 or water cannons usually all 3 types side by side very prominently mounted and displayed with easy access, I flat out refused to allow the powder extinguishers in my shop. I'm not putting myself in the hospital from breathing that powder for anyone. I'd rather someone douse me in gasoline and pour the remainder on the fire, I'd stand about the same chance of survival as I would breathing the powder.
