Identification of the grounded conductor

I seem to recall a reference in the code to identifying the grounded conductor in a pull box, junction box, or conduit body if the conductor size was larger than #6 and continuously white or gray? I looked in Art.110, 200, 210, 215, 250, 300, 310, 312, and 314 but was not successful in locating this. Am I searching for a myth, or has it been relocated in another article?

I think you might be getting mixed up with the grounded NOT being continuosly white or gray. and yes if it is NOT white or gray then you need to identify it by some means.

I appreciate your quick response. No I'm not getting mixed up, I know what a grounded conductor is. I know that a #6 or smaller grounded conductor has to be continuously white or gray or have three continuous white stripes the entire length of the run. I was looking for where it is referred to in the code about having to identify the grounded conductor for wires that are larger than #6 that are indentified at the time of installation in a pull or junction box, or conduit body . Any Ideas?
