Color to use for AV CAT Jacks

Do we have a standard color that all AV CAT jacks should be whether in an AV rack patchbay or dedicated AV jack in a floorbox?  Does anyone change colors if it's control, audio or video?  I only can find one website that mentions this and cannot find anything in AVIXA standards or in discussions here.  Looks like we should avoid green.  Blue is fine.  I've used red for a stagebox to digital mixer.  Is this website correct that black is our color?  The Role of Color-Coding in Network Cabling and Keystone Jacks
