Space Minifig Color/ Job Definition

[Col. Brik]

I had seen it listed and posted in this forum in the past and thought it was great. I tried to find that post again but my search mojo is lacking the last two days. With getting four green space figs with the two exosuits I purchased I was thinking about the jobs for each fig, how the green figs fit into it and couldn't find the listed jobs.

Any help?

Thank you.

I believe that the green figs are scouts, and that they have the ranking of "Cadet".

From the reddit thread:

There was a second reason to go for green, I've met and talked to Jens Nygaard Knudsen, creator of the Mini-figure and all of the original classic space sets (from day one all the way to Spyrius). According to him the Red and White spacemen started as Cosmonauts and Astronauts. Later they became red pilots and white explorers, yellow were introduced as scientists, blue as security/soldiers, black as spies. Pete and I decided Mech Pilots should be a new colour. Green!
