Hello Peter, IEC 60173: Colors of the cores of flexible cables and cords, is still active and provides a coloring scheme for earthing conductors that is referenced in many other IEC standards like 60204.

Is it better to have more yellow than green or more green than yellow. I know North Americans prefer more green than yellow and Europeans like more yellow than green. Any historical reason? I hope it has nothing to do with the Boston Tea Party! Can the group we come up with some compromise? BTW IEC 60 204 standard for electrical equipment for machinery states "the bicolour combination GREEN-AND-YELOW shall be such that on any 15mm length one of the colours covers at least 30% and not more than 70% of the surface of the conductor, tje other colour covering the remainder of the surface".
