sensor outputs
) shall be color-coded as follows:
A. Use red, white, brown, or black with stripe wire on the +24 Vdc, +12 Vdc and +5 Vdc connections.
B. Use black or blue wire for the common or negative side of the (-) connections.
[R46]
Basically, the rule applies to wires that are sending electrical current (not my field of expertise, so that's probably a terrible, simple way to describe it) and PWM's are SPECIFICALLY exempt from the rule/their color is not enforced.
