Yellow - Cathode
Green - Grid
Blue - Plate
Violet - Speaker
Gray - 120VAC mains
White - Misc.

I used a few blue and green colors for misc. hook ups to keep the same color wire from going to adjacent terminal strip lugs. I did this maybe 3 or 4 times.

Going through this exercise, I did manage to find a couple of errors and made note of the corrections.

I'm attaching the wire schedule.
According to the chart, it seems to follow the RMA color code. I like it a lot better for trouble shooting.
I built several Allied Knight-kits and they would furnish pre-cut wire of various lengths, the color corresponding to the length.
I always thought it was wrong, but I wired it per the instructions.
