In North America, the neutral wire is usually white; hot wires will be red or black; ground wires will be green. But it is not always the same; if you are working with three-phase power, or in applications where you have a lot of different wires, color codes can get lost.
In USA, Canada and other countries using a similar 60 Hz system:
- the Neutral wire is colored White or Commercial Gray
- the Ground wire is colored Green or is bare wire
In Europe and other world areas using a similar 50 Hz system:
- the Neutral wire is colored Blue
- the Earth wire is colored Green and Yellow

What is the Romex color code for electrical wiring?
The Romex color code for electrical wiring is black for hot wires, white for neutral wires, and bare copper for ground wires.
What is the standard color coding for red, black, and white electrical wires in a circuit?
The standard color coding for electrical wires in a circuit is red for live or hot wires, black for neutral wires, and white for ground wires.
What are the standard color codes for home wiring, specifically for identifying black and white wires?
The standard color code for home wiring is black for hot wires and white for neutral wires.
What are the standard color codes used for house wiring, specifically for identifying the white and black wires?
The standard color codes for house wiring are black for hot wires and white for neutral wires.
What is color code for neutral earth pit?
You can not have a "neutral earth" the "neutral" and the "earth" are separate wires/connections and should not be cross connected or muddled up.
What is the standard color coding for green, black, and white electrical wires?
The standard color coding for electrical wires is green for ground, black for hot, and white for neutral.
What is the standard color coding for white and black electrical wires in a typical household wiring system?
In a typical household wiring system, the standard color coding for electrical wires is white for neutral wires and black for hot wires.
What does neutral do?
Neutral wires are actually ground wires. They enable the circuit to be completed.
What colors are electrical wires with number reference?
eletrical wire has 3 specif colour coding. As live wire ,neutral wire,earth wire. 1.live - red 2.neutral-black 3.earth - green. These are the specific color coding of eletrical wire.
Is brown live and blue neutral?
yes,because its a primary color
What is the difference and how to differentiate between neutral and hot wires if both wires have the same color?
If the electrical box is grounded, check with a tester, the "hot" wire will have a voltage to the the grounded box the neutral wire will not. If the box is not grounded, with the breaker supplying the voltage turned off, use a tester on the resistance scale to check for continuity between the wires and a cold water pipe or some other grounded medium. The neutral will have continuity between the wire and a ground the "hot" wire will not.
What is the color combination of the blue, yellow, and brown wires in the electrical circuit?
The color combination of the blue, yellow, and brown wires in an electrical circuit is typically used for specific purposes, such as blue for neutral, yellow for earth/ground, and brown for live/hot.
