It's alright colour coding pipes if you re sure which they are,if not leave well alone. Unless the coding is done on installation it is too easy to make a mistake. I personally know of one pipe which entered the wall as a gas pipe came out the other side as a water pipe and went though the next wall and came out as a compressed air pipe

Pipelines are colour coded so that you know at a glance what is in them.
By colour coding the pipes it makes them easier to follow

I believe you will find DIN 2403 is the standard for pipe colours, but, be careful, modern European colours differ from British ones i.e green for water abroad and for oil here.
