No, American and British color coding for electrical conductors is not the same.

UK, AC: The United Kingdom now follows the IEC AC wiring color codes. Table below lists these along with the obsolete domestic color codes. For adding new colored wiring to existing old colored wiring see Cook. [PCk]

UK AC power circuit wiring color codes.

US, AC:The US National Electrical Code only mandates white (or grey) for the neutral power conductor and bare copper, green, or green with yellow stripe for the protective ground. In principle any other colors except these may be used for the power conductors. The colors adopted as local practice are shown in Table below. Black, red, and blue are used for 208 VAC three-phase; brown, orange and yellow are used for 480 VAC. Conductors larger than #6 AWG are only available in black and are color taped at the ends.

What are HTML Color Codes used for?

The HTML code for colors is a so called RGB (red, green blue) value. it is coded in a hexadecimal manner. The range gos from 00 to FF (0-255) for each color. The coding schema is #RRGGBB were RR stands for the red component GG for the green component and BB for the blue component. A value of #000000 is black, a value of #FFFFFF is white. a value of #FF0000 is red, a value of #00FF00 is green and a value of #0000FF is blue. There is a improvement comming, conernihng RGBA values. The A stands for alpha amnd means transparency or translucency. This values are coded as #RRGGBBAA In all cases, instead of two digits for one color you can use one digit per color, the second digit for each color will then be the same as the first. So for example, #FF44AA is the same as #F4A, and #333366 is the same as #336.
