hi all is there a a normal coulour code chart for tacho's?

i have one which has 5wires:
red
green
blue
black

i think that red is lamp
green i think is earth
and do not know the rest?

thanks

at a guess

red - live
black - earth
Green - wire to dizzy
yellow - may be the gauge light

stumped at blue...

colours for my Eliot tacho

red - 12 V
black - 0 V
blue - lamp
green - coil

What are you putting it on, a gas turbine?!

Red is definitely illumination, green is ground, those are clear from the pic. Others I can only guess at I'm afraid.

The wiring diagram from the donor would tell all.
