Default Colored Fuses and Correct Flasher

I'm going through the fuses in the fuse box on my '70 Olds. The 10 amp has the red, it looks like the 25 amp fuse has the white, and I don't have any colors on the 20 amp fuses so I'll assume those have been replaced. Where can I get the correct colored fuses?

Also, what is the correct flasher at the fuse box? I think it's the round one but I'm seeing yellow and blue ones. I think the yellow is a Tung-Sol.

Yes on 10 and 25 amp color codes. The 20 amp is clear glass and believe 30 amp blue ring. See https://www.camaros.net/threads/time...5#post-3877074

I saw your car list... and with 29 posts I figured there had to be a picture of the rarest color combo, which I have never seen on an olds...

W31 Platinum with Blue Buckets and Blue stripes...

We can't let you out of here without a couple of pictures of that BEAUTY!!!

I love silver over blue or Black over Blue!

Can’t answer your specific flasher unit question, other than to say when I was researching them for my Camaro, I found it a subject with very little factual info available.
The Factory AIM listed several different part numbers as ‘optional’ for both turn signal and 4-way flasher units. There was no clear cross-reference material between GM part number and manufacturer flasher ID number, so I began looking at what was on unrestored cars - but conceding flashers were frequently replaced over time.
I found original cars with both Tung-Sol and Signal-Stat flashers, both round and rectangular, and with plastic and metal cans. At some point after the ‘69 model year, but not sure which year, ‘DoT’ started to appear on flashers, and most have a 3-digit date code (although the Decoding format is debatable).
Figured if you base your decision on what to use after looking at as many unrestored cars of the same type as you can find, and it functions correctly, who can tell you it’s incorrect?

These are vintage pictures from the '70's but they're the best to really show the true shade of the blue. I haven't seen another platinum / blue stripe W-car but I'm sure there's another one out there.
