what colour is the AT-4 rocket launcher?

Medium green - roughly a Humbrol #30.

The rubber at the front and end is black with a hint of dark gray. Pop up sights are pure black. Shoulder strap and shoulder support is dark tan.

As I recall a wellow band indicates a live round, while white indicate a training launcher that can be reused with 9mm cartrigde and sound/flash/smoke marker. I am a little unsure of the colours of the bands - it has been some years since I used it the last time

Hope this helps

Interesting that the two different pictures offer different colors for the rubber.....one blackish, the other greenish. Or is that strictly the lighting of the pics?

I had NO idea they attached "scopes" to 'em. Very neat.

Very nice picture, and helps me with colours as well. Im going to assume that the scope is a night sighting one?

Wow! Very nice!!

This looks a bit different from the ones I used in the late 1990-ties. I know we used yellow and white bands on ours, but it might only be for Danish used launchers.

I have never seen one with a scope on it. I am curious to how it is fitted to the AT-4? It must be easy to attach and detach from the launcher as the launcher is a one shot weapon that is thrown away after being fired.

The Scope looks similiar to the one they use with the german PzFst (Panzerfaust) 3. But there the scope is combined with the trigger/safety. It can be attached and removed quickly, because the weapon itself (the cartridge)is also a throw-away weapon. Then you can use it with the next.

I would guess, that this a normal scope with marks to estimate speed and range of the target. But i'm not sure...

Different countries probably have their own color codes. As a Drill Sergeant, the bands on the ones we trained with were either were blue (pretty much a standard in our military) for inert, or gold, for the tracer practice round. The ones I used in Afghanistan had black bands for HEAT. One of our prefire checks is to make sure you have the right one, even if common sense tells you which one you should have. The AT-4 can also mount the AN/PAS-13B Thermal Weapon Sight, which does indeed have a selectable reticle depending upon the weapon. Here is one on my home defense weapon:

Here's a picture showing the yellow band (USMC AT-4) :

I've done some search and the night sight fitted to the AT-4 on the linked picture in my previous post appears to be a AN/PVS-4 :
