Hi Terry, I don't know the colour coding that you are after, but what I have done in the past is find a fuse in the interior fuse box that is only powered up when the key is in the accessory or run position then splice into that wire (thru a fused wire).
Likely fuse positions could be electric windows, stereo, ect.
Some times in the fuse box there is a spare slot that is not used because it may be a accessory that is not fitted to your vehicle, that slot will have the power side (12 volt) terminal and a blank spot on the other side where the fuse would go.
Just place the power wire from your radio into that slot ( you can buy the terminal that will fit into the fuse box) and it will be powered up from the ignition and and have a ready made fuse holder.
Hope that makes sense,
Willb
