They can have any color insulation.
Wire gauges are defined in such a way that the lower the gauge, the thicker the wire. So, 8 gauge wire is thicker than 10 gauge wire.
Yes, you splice a small length of 16 gauge wire to 18 gauge wire for a repair.
The larger the wire gauge, the smaller the diameter. 12 gauge is bigger than 14 gauge.
30 amps is often the limit recommended for standard residential wiring on a #10 copper wire. You are correct.
A wire gauge is a number that indicates how thick the wire is. A larger gauge number means a thinner wire. Gauge and diameter can be linked by looking up wire tables.

The size of the wire is stated by its gauge under American Wire Gauge. Six gauge wire is size 6 AWG.

Yes, the smaller gauge number, the larger the wire is.

No, the higher gauge means a thinner wire.

The amps that a four gauge wire will handle will depend with the thickness of the wire. If the wire is thin, the four gauge will handle 95 amps.
it is not recommended because the 14 gauge wire is not capable of carrying the same amount of load as the 12 gauge wire which could result in a fire.
