Hello Jenny, and everyone Looking at Lorelei's charts, specifically this one http://www.lynxlace.com/images-h-det-diag/colorcode.JPG yes plaits are blue. But in "Point Ground Lace, A Comparative Study", plaits are yellow, as are gimp lines and a pair involving one thick and one thin thread. In this book of many kinds of point ground lace which tend to have picot edges on the headside, picots are shown as a dot within a circle in whatever colour representing the stitch in the headside nearest the picot.
In my Cluny book, and in my Binche diagrams, extra twists are shown as one short red stroke across the thread for each extra twist. Leaf-tallies are shown in yellow in my Cluny book (for one thread weaving = yellow). I have a Binche diagram with square tallies shown in black. Both square and leaf tallies have characteristic shapes, so maybe their specific colour isn't that important vs. ground areas that need clarification? Hope this helps.
