Question about storms

[Undertakr]

I'm currently playing in a game and my fleet is hiding in a storm that no one can see into. I know this because my partners with Hyperoptics maxed can't even see me. So, my question is this:

1) Are the storms color coded? Like are all blue storms the same type?
2) Is there a way to know if the storm is completely cloaking my fleet without getting my partners into that sector to tell me?

Any other storm tips would be greatly appreciated.

system wide nebulae are all color coded. the red ones cant be seen thru by anything. small storms are different, and are randomly generated.

The map-maker within the game will generate nebula that are color-coded. Be aware however that a map CAN be modified to NOT conform to the default levels. Thus red nebulas in a modified map can be seen thru. Plus some Mods may have sensors that will penetrate such nebulas.
