Well, there is an NFPA color standard, IIRC, based on the flow rate of the largest diameter fitting on the hydrant. This is slightly different than the size of the main it is hooked to as a five-inch connection is going to flow more than a three-inch connection on the same sized main. I've seen this used in larger municipalities; wish it was done more.
