I did some asking and such, and well quite frankly, I don't believe you are correct.
Here is what Aaron had to say about this on another board.
"Hope I can help here but it is quite confusing
There is the standard Edge line of Polyester Urethane Domestic Foams
There is the Durafoam Edge Line of stiffer Domestic Prepolymer Foams
There is the European Edge Line of stiff Prepolymer Foams
In the standard line from Coarse to Fine
Black, Yellow,Green, Blue, White
In the Durafoam ( we only now make for DA pads in Two types
Yellow, Green
In the European Pre polymer foams
Orange, Yellow
We now also make a red one for AG which is similar to our Standard Blue pad
In my opinion, The European foams are quite agressive even though they don't feel so rough on the texture but because they are so stiff and push back on the paint they cut pretty hard but finish well.
The Durafoams are stiff and cut well but not as fast as the Orange, but the Yellow is softer and cuts like our Green but its not in any line of AG at this point and is mostly used on rotary buffers.
We don't make the durafoams in blue and White because they do not have good polishing characteristics and that is what the blue and white pads purpose is.
There are alot of foams out there, many that are totally different and can't be just put into the same texture chart because they are so different in the way the perform and act. It comes down to a personal preference. Most guys in the USA don't like the stiff foams, they cut too hard and feel like a brick on the car. Most in Europe don't like the softer pads they feel like it takes too long to cut with them. Therefore we make the whole range to satisfy everyones needs. We are going to make several new charts on our website to help clarify this but it may take a few weeks before they are on the website so check back regularly.
