Herald colour formats are very difficult to unravel, with many unreliable claims made - I had one Herald expert insist that you could split 948cc full 2-tones from 1147cc by whether the side flash was in the top/bottom colour or the middle filling colour. Which turned out to be total pants - it's always the filling colour. But on the bright side, Vitesses are consistently single colour, with or without a flash.
