ABYC (American Boat and Yacht Council) suggests wire colors for DC, namely black or yellow for DC negative, because boats can have AC and DC power in the same areas.
Use of standard grades of plastic wire ties is by far the most common method used by installers to support and secure direct current (DC) string wiring in an array. At least some of these
In many solar installations, the prevalent color codes for four-core cables include black (or brown) for positive, blue for negative, and
DC wire color codes in EU/UK: Standard wiring color codes are used for two-wire grounded, two-wire ungrounded, and three-wire grounded DC power systems. These wiring
Brown for live - Live wire means that the wire is connected to the main supply. So, brown color was used indicating this property of the
In many solar installations, the prevalent color codes for four-core cables include black (or brown) for positive, blue for negative, and yellow and green for the earth connection.
These DC color codes are used for solar power and panels, batteries, vehicles, and other DC-powered equipment, such as computer data
The standard color code for solar panel wiring is red for positive, black for negative, and green or bare for grounding.
The DC wire color code is a fundamental reference for anyone working with low-voltage systems. By following proper wire color conventions—red for positive, black for negative, and

Brown for live - Live wire means that the wire is connected to the main supply. So, brown color was used indicating this property of the wire. Blue for neutral - Neutral wire shows
The color code for 12V and 24V DC systems is generally the same, with no differences there. The differences mainly depend on the type of ground and neutral used.
