An example would be if you used red labels on your folders for your medical records, green for financial, blue for all papers for your swimming pool, etc.
You use a certain color for a certain category so you can find things faster.
Another example would be that you can use pink DVD cases for romantic movies, red for violent ones, blue for sad ones, orange for comedies, black for dark dramas, etc. Anything to help you find what you're looking for. Anything to help you distinguish categories.
One more: In stores, some brands put red caps on their HOT spices, green on the herbs, yellow for medium heat. Notice lids on salsa. Green means mild, yellow means medium, and red is for HOT.
Colored tape is sometimes used on electrical wires to let people know which wires are HOT (dangerous, ON, etc.), as a safety feature.
Color-coding is used in many ways.

Colour coded is things that are colour coded are marked with different colours so that it is easy to see what they are to be used for.*
