I've been following the discussion here about color codes with great interest. It occured to me that we take our color code for granted here in North America.

We don't have to face any push to "unify" (re: change) our color codes as you do in Europe. (IMHO, any attempt to change our system would be met with massive resistance.) Nor do we have to grapple with mating two color code systems as in the UK and elsewhere (ie. blue used as both a phase and neutral color)

I can certainly see the benefits of a uniform color code in a perfect world. However, it just seems like more effort than it's worth to change what works just fine in the numerous countries that have well established color codes and methods.
