POE cable color standard

I haven't found any reference to a color code for POE cable jacketing, but is there any kind of standard color code to use to indicate that the cat5e cable is a powered ethernet cable? Didn't know if installers had their own kind of color code they may follow.

If not, i'll probably just pick an odd color that we've never used and will probably never use so it is noticeable.

Thanks.
 
POE is not specific. EIA/TIA-606-A specs "green [pantone 353C]" same as any other "office equipment, 'customer side,' "red [pantone 184c] for key systems (ie phone.) POE doesn't override any of the other color codes for horizontal or backbone colors.
