Are these the right representation of colours for plugs in a particular country ? Why would people have red / green for what I assume here is live neutral

If anyone is colour blind they apparently can't differentiate

hence in the Uk

Live = Brown
Neutral = Blue
Earth Yellow / green

Clearly trying to put wires in to the socket is a VERY BAD idea anyway and should NEVER be attempted.

@sjw Ah cool thanks :) This diagram is really useful too.

Interesting how some places it's white-neutral and black-hot, and other places it's the other way around.

A few years ago, a cable tv tech was monkeying with the wires to my mother in law's house, knocked out the neutral, and blew up several appliances in the house.
@zleap @sjw that color scheme would immediately kill me because everything would go in the wrong place.
