Modern European products use the following colour codes for its wire insulation:

single-phase: line (brown), neutral (blue), protective conductor (green/yellow stripe)

three-phase: lines (brown, black, grey)

These colours are also used in electrical installations. However, older buildings will have been wired using whatever national colour code was in use at that time. For example, older buildings in the UK would have used:

single-phase: line (red), neutral (black), protective conductor (green or bare)

three-phase: lines (red, yellow, blue)
