Hmm. I've always done blue for "safe" or "internal" connections, red for
machines on the DMZ or outside.
Perhaps Blue for internal data, Yellow for internal voice, Green for
data/voice?
Don't know if there's a website on this, but you can definitely read
about it in Tom Limoncelli's The Practice of System and Network
Administration book.
