propane is in an orange cylinder, when it has a screw in type valve, or green cylinder if it has the snap on type valve, eg for patio heaters and is generally branded as patio gas. Butane is usually in a blue cylinder, butane has similar properties to propane, but a lower boiling point, so generally freezes if the ambient temperature is too low and stops boiling off to gas.
