It is well known, or should be to everyone here, that service wiring (building electrical wiring) uses much different color coding than electronic wiring.
Even their perspective is different. Ask an electrician what "low voltage" and "high voltage" means. In some parts of the world wiring is "low voltage" if it's less than 1KV, and high voltage is where they have to worry about arc flash.
Other situations where you might run into odd wiring colors are automobiles. German cars used to use brown for negative, and black for positive. Making that extra dangerous is that the brown battery cable looked like faded red, especially using a flashlight at night. Compounding the problem, they then switched to red for certain positive circuits, including the battery cable.
The best wire color coding scheme I've seen is in 1960s-era pinball machines. The line voltage circuits used thermoplastic insulation, but all of the control circuits used colored braided insulation. The color coding was part of the braid, with most signals using three colors. Each one of the hundreds of circuits used a unique color code, and it is remarkably easy to identify and trace a circuit through the laced wiring harnesses. The only problem is that you can't find matching replacement wire.
