Use the code engraved on the crank, and the one that is stamped on the case to select proper bearing if your crank is within limits.

I think he is missing one of the 2 and can't put together a "color code".

PS: 9 times out of ten, if there is not much mileage on the parts, you'll end up with all greens.
