Electronic color code
An electronic color code is a system which wordlessly identifies either the functions of cables and connections, or the types and variants of electronic components. Codes for cables and connections range from the use of pink, blue, and green connectors on computer sound cards, to early attempts at standardizing the colors of battery, loudspeaker, and antenna wires of radio sets in the 1920s, to the 25-pair color code, used in telecommunications cables. Among the component identification applications, those used on resistors are most widespread, with usage on inductors also popular, while in the past, many variations were applied to capacitors, diodes, and other part types.
