Thresholds and colours come from the same regulation file the label generator uses, so this answer and a generated UK label always agree. Front-of-pack labelling is voluntary in the UK, but if used it must follow these criteria and sit alongside the mandatory back-of-pack declaration. Energy is shown without a colour, as the guidance requires.
