I presume that Belgian colour code is the one used by the Kantcentrum in Bruges. The "standard" colour coding for BL working diagrams is: purple for cloth stitch CTC red for cloth & twist CTCT green for half stitch CT Yellow for a single thread (gimp or weaver in a tally) but a lot of books use black as it's easier to see. The coloured diagrams in Bridget Cook's workbook are single threads, not pairs, and she just used a mix of red and blue as she felt best highlighted the stitches being described > 2.

To me a heart is designed to be worn/displayed, but not necessarily worked, with the point going down. A chevron can point in any direction. Other than that they are the same in Torchon lace.
