The following suggested standards are subject to the
NFPA 70 - National Electrical Code (USA)
Grounding conductor (“ground”): wires must be bare, green, or green/yellow striped
Grounded conductor (“neutral”): wires must be white or gray
Orange, when used in a 3-phase 4 wire delta configuration supplying 120/240, shall designate the “wild” leg with 208v to neutral.
Orange is the only ungrounded conductor specified by the NEC. “Wild leg” (120/240 center-tapped neutral delta configuration), the two end phases on the center-tapped winding provide 120 volts to neutral, but on the wild leg you will find nearly 208 volts to the neutral. If you see an orange wire in a panel, alarm bells should go off: You don’t want to wire a 120 VAC circuit across the wild 208 volt phase.
IEC 60446 Standard
Grounding conductor (“ground”): wires must be bare, or green/yellow striped
Grounded conductor (“neutral”): blue.
PEN (Protective Earth/Neutral, combined) conductor, when insulated, shall be marked by one of the following methods:
Green-and-yellow throughout its length with, in addition, light blue markings at the terminations, or
Light blue throughout its length with, in addition, green-and-yellow markings at the terminations
