Your Austrian color code sounds very similar to that listed for fuses in Ireland:
green=6A, red=10A, brown=16A, blue=20A, black=35A.

As somebody once said, the nice thing about standards is that there are so many to choose from! [Linked Image]

Wylex has stopped color-coding the handles on the breakers pictured now, but they still do it on their "standard range."

By the way, Ireland has now started using the "Schuko" plug in addition to the British 13A type.
