Hi Andy
Take no notice of colour at top of mast, it isn’t really a true indication of how stiff a mast is. You need to look first at the lowest joint on mast, and measure the distance from top of lower measurement band (or roughly from top of gooseneck). You will find this measurement to be between 2300- 3000mm or more. the higher it is, then generally the stiffer your mast is, but there are also other factors such as how many sections make up the mast above that point and how much taper is built in. My advise would be to sail with what you have for a while first and see if you are under or over powered.
Hope this helps
Neil
