My question has to do with color codes.

The 480 volt side would be brown,orange,yellow. BOY

What color would the high leg be on the 240 side? I'm already using orange for the 480 side ? :-?

Typically Red,black,blue on a Wye.

Thats a situation that arose in this area some years ago and, for that reason. some of the local jurisdictions ruled that orange could only be used for a 240/120 delta high-leg and most contractors starting using Brown-Purple-Yellow for 480.
The Code pretty much limits you to orange on your high-leg, but 210.6 allows tagging and other means for conductor ID, so you could continue to use orange for both but tag the wire.
