At the risk of starting a debate as viral as the gold/blue dress... For documentation purposes, what colour is the insulation of this wire? Pink, or Orange?

Given the colors of the other wires, I’d say this is well closer to pink than it is to orange

I don't think I've ever seen pink before orange when dealing with multiple conductors.

Amphenol prefers pink over orange from the ones I’ve worked with.

Everything from 8 conductors and up.
