Assuming this extinguisher is following Australian rules, that is a dry chemical extinguisher. If this is an American extinguisher, there are no standards, only conventions, and I couldn't tell you by color alone.
A fire extinguisher with a red band or triangle is typically designated for Class B fires, which involve flammable liquids such as gasoline, oil, and grease. These extinguishers contain agents like foam, carbon dioxide, or dry chemical powders that are effective in smothering and cooling burning liquid fuels. It's important to use the correct type of extinguisher for the specific fire to prevent spreading the flames or causing additional hazards. Always check the label for specific instructions and appropriate usage.
Red...... i think
A fire extinguisher is typically red, so it's easy to spot. It is marked with information identifying the type of extinguisher it is, such as dry powder or foam. It will also indicate the types of fires it is appropriate for.

A nice working fire extinguisher. Ussually they are red and hanging some where in the house. The ABC rated or the CO2 fire extinguisher works. DO NOT USE WATER!!
The pressure gauge on a fire extinguisher indicates whether the extinguisher is properly pressurized and ready for use. A needle in the green zone signifies that the extinguisher is charged and functional, while a needle in the red zone indicates low pressure or that the extinguisher may need maintenance or replacement. Regularly checking the pressure gauge is crucial for ensuring the extinguisher will operate effectively in an emergency.
The extinguisher that has only a green triangle on it would be a really BAD choice because it probably contains water for putting out Class A fires of ordinary combustibles. An electrical fire (Class C) is signified by the letter C in a blue circle. Or, you can turn off the electricity and use any extinguisher appropriate for the type of fire that was started by the electricity's heat.
The color of a fire extinguisher next to a boiler is typically red, which is the standard color for fire extinguishers. However, the specific type of extinguisher used can vary based on the fire risks associated with boilers. For example, a Class B extinguisher (used for flammable liquids) may be red with a label indicating its specific use. Always check the labeling to ensure the right type is available for the potential hazards.
1. by colour coding i.e. red for water, black for CO2 2. By writing the content in large letters on the body of the extinguisher
A fire extinguisher that is red with a black panel is typically an ABC dry chemical extinguisher. This type of extinguisher is effective against Class A (ordinary combustibles), Class B (flammable liquids), and Class C (electrical) fires. The black panel often indicates that it is suitable for use on electrical fires, but it's always important to check the label for specific instructions and limitations.
