If memory serves, it's whatever color you chose when you initiated your Assured Grounding program.

1926.404(b)(1)(iii)(G) Tests performed as required in this paragraph shall be recorded. This test record shall identify each receptacle, cord set, and cord- and plug-connected equipment that passed the test and shall indicate the last date it was tested or the interval for which it was tested. This record shall be kept by means of logs, color coding, or other effective means and shall be maintained until replaced by a more current record. The record shall be made available on the jobsite for inspection by the Assistant Secretary and any affected employee.

I was on a job sight a while back and I thought I saw a list with the colors specified. We had to go and put the proper color tape on all our cords.

Most of the jobs I have been on that use the Assured Grounding Program and Quarterly inspections use the following color code...

Jan April
Feb = White for Winter (snow) May = Green for Spring (New Growth)
Mar June

July Oct
August = Red for Summer (Hot) Nov = Orange for Fall (Leaves)
Sept Dec
