Very roughly, green is approximately 600-grit, blue about 800-grit, and grey around 1000-grit.  The maroon pad is around 350-grit.

Btw, yesterday I used the "Blue Scotch-Brite" pads on my Yeah-Baby and good grief it was like shooting a army tank with a BB-gun

(due to me running out of abralon pads  )

Hint: Save the Blue SB pads for plain reactive resin balls. Use Abralon or Trizact on the Legend Diamond particles.
