Carol,
According to Chapin and Kaiser, Urban Land Use Planning, here's a little run down on 
land use category colors for maps:

Residential
Low density-yellow
Medium density-orange
High Density- brown
Retail businesses-red
Trans, util. comm.- ultramarine
Industry and related uses-indigo blue
Wholesale and related uses-purple
Public builds and open spaces-green
Vacant or nonurban use-uncolored
Institutional buildings and areas-gray

Hope that helps
