You may be starting in the wrong place. Look at the standard under which you are certifying the product. Does it, or the other standards that it references, specifiy the color of warnings? For example, EN60950 does not, but the component specification for lasers, EN 60825-1, does call out for specific colors for some warnings. As far as EN60950 is concerned, I am unaware of any other need for colored warnings.

Question: What does IEC 27 say about the color of the caution symbol? I have a product that will need to have CE Mark (EMC and LVD). The product label is two colors (red on white). I need to have a caution symbol on a "probe" jack with "10 V max". I've been told IEC says black on yellow for the symbol when it means caution/hazard/avoid or black on white when it means see the manual. I can only have red on white. Is this an issue for the low voltage directive? Can it be red on white?
