Yes i know the wiring colours for both AC and DC here in Australia.
DC - Positive is Red, Negative is Black.
AC - Earth is green or can also be Green and Yellow, Neutral is Black or also can be Blue, Active is Red or can also be Brown.
I just had this thought that a few years ago i had read somewhere that the AC Neutral (Black) was now being tied to earth.

ALL HOUSEHOLD WIRING AND REPAIRS MUST BE ONLY CARRIED OUT BY A LICENCED ELECTRICIAN.

The same colour codes apply to UK wiring
We call "Active" Live here and Earth is Green and Yellow unless it's old wiring and then it is solid Green.
