The SATA connector on a power supply is to supply power to SATA-based hard drives. It is not to be confused with the ATX plug that is to give extra power to the CPU, nor the PCI-e power connectors that give extra power to certain video cards.

It is unexpected to find a SATA style connector on the motherboard.

Computer front panel wire color?

Most computer manufacturers do not follow a standard when it comes to front panel connector wire colors. The best place to locate such information is on the system's documentation. If you are building the computer on your own, the literature that came with the computer case might have what you are looking for. Many computer case manufacturers label the front panel connector cables individually so you can tell which wire is which. The motherboard manual will also show you exactly where to connect the front panel connector cables.
