NEC says nothing; only if a local jurisdiction has additional
requirements would it be an issue.

Hi,
In my house 12-2 Romoex has orange color.


My house was built in 1970, where Canada changed over from 60 degree C.
cable to 90 degree C. cable. Most of it was wired with Romex cable that was
not plastic coated but with loom that was tarred and painted with orange
paint. An addition was added in 1986 and it was all wired with white plastic
coated cable no matter what the gage. In between there was some
modifications to wiring and the plastic coated cable used in that date came
in many colors, I have red, orange, black and brown and all are 14 gage.
