Do you know which standard that comes from, because I'm not aware of any such convention? Anderson makes both red and yellow SB50 connectors designed for 6 AWG and rated for 600 V (for insulation purposes). Their datasheet doesn't suggest a colour code.

I was thinking the same thing. I couldn't find a list on the Anderson site, but there was a list here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DC_connector that suggests that at least Anderson has their own color coding recommendations.
