A typical RCA cable for use in video systems is usually colored red, white and yellow or sometimes red, black and yellow. The convention is to assign red and white or red and black to audio left and right while the yellow is assigned to video.
Most RCA ports on players and televisions are color coded in the same way to make connecting equipment less prone to errors.
Other color codes are used for various signals such as a RED, a GREEN, and a BLUE for the 3 parts of the color signal used for both RGB and component video signals. The left and right audio signals associated with the video will once again be carried as red and white.
Please note that the colors don't have to match in reference to the cables and ports. Nonetheless it is mandatory that the source and destination ports be linked with the same cable, which is always capped with the same colour.

A red-white-yellow (RWY) cable is designed for stereo audio and composite video. A red-green-blue cable is designed for component video on your DVD player. Most RWY cables will have the yellow cable noticeably thicker than the red and white. This is because there is extra shielding in the video cable to avoid interference. While short runs of RWY cable can be used for component video, the picture can suffer if there is electrical interference in the Red and White cables because of reduced shielding.
