Would you like to know how I know this? Because I was taught which colors were for what and then when I was on my first job site, my boss asked me why I used those colors. I told him because thats how I was taught. He then told me that he usually does blah blah blah. Guess what? It still worked exactly how it was suppose to. You know why? Because colors dont mean shit.
I think he understands just fine. You are trying to paint an extreme picture. Any installer that uses different colors for power, fan, heat, and cooling should have his ass chewed out and made to fix it. Then probably fired for being a rogue asshole.

When I was still working as a tech I saw all kinds of colors used for different things, I think the only one that I saw didn't change was green for the fan. All I cared about was if they matched up on the circuit board. And all I said was that you can't go by the colors at the t-stat and then I was told, "yes you can." Which is 100% false.

you are assuming that some ****ing drooling mongoloid didn't hook the wires up in the wrong spots on the other end

They could all be one color and work if they were wired up correctly.

Data cabling has a standard too, but if is not followed, it can still work as long as all wires are landed the same on both ends.

Same goes for phone and electrical.
