Thanks for that! Found more information on the Flyer website here now that I know what I'm looking for!

UK Military METAR Colour Codes

Black - Airfield closed for non-Met reasons.

Red - Cloud under 200ft, and/or Visibility under 800m.

Amber - Better than Red, but cloud under 300ft, and/or Visibility under 1600m.

Yellow - Better than Amber, but cloud under 700ft, and/or Visibility under 3700m.

Green - Better than Yellow, but cloud under 1500ft, and/or Visibility under 5km

White - Better than Green, but Cloud under 2500ft, and/or Visibility under 8km

Blue - Cloud 2500ft or above and Visibility 8km or more

'Cloud' in this case is the lowest cloudbase designated as SCATTERED or worse.
