Most wire comes in the same 10 standard colors as used in the
resistor color code: BLK, BRN, RED, ORG, YEL, GRN, BLU, VIO, GRY
and WHT. Unfortunately there are no standards established for the
color shade, so actual wire colors vary over a large range. |

UL
only specifies a nominal and minimum wall thickness on most common
hookup wire. This means that excess buildup in the plastic
insulation, 5 to 10 times the normal thickness is acceptable.
However, Military specifications which are more exact always call
out a maximum wall thickness. |
