Because PVC piping system components can be manufactured in a variety of colors, identification of application is easy. A common color scheme (although not universal) is:
White for DWV and some low pressure applications.
White, blue, and dark gray for cold water piping.
Green for sewer service.
Dark gray for industrial pressure applications.

Standard PVC sometimes cannot take very hot temperates, However they make PVC (Usually Gray) that can withstand these temps.

CPVC used on hot water supply lines -- rated for hot water
PVC used on cold water supply lines -- not rated for hot water
In my area, PVC is white, CPVC is off-white (beige/yellowish)
Your local hardware store should be able to help you out, as colors may be regional.
But they always differ in color to more easily differentiate one from another.
