What is Canada's 120vac color code?
I recently cut into a equipment cord to change
the plug and noticed a different color combination
please educate me on the subject.

What makes you think they have a standard color code? We don't.
 
Re: color codes for Canada

In my small little world I like to see
Blk,Red, or Blue in my wiring. 120v

In this perticular app. I found Blue,Brown,
and Green/white in a three conductor appliance
cord. Standard or not that's not what I usually find. Like I said My small world.

Brown - phase or hot conducotor
Bleu [blue] Netural conductor
Green with yellow stripes - grounding or "earth" conductor
