         AN/ARC-5 Coil Color Codes
      (From AN 16-30ARC5-2, Figure 7-3)

     Receiver Frequency Color Codes
             RF Coil Set    IF and BFO Coils
BROWN        .19 to .55         85
RED          .52 to 1.5        239
ORANGE       1.5 to 3.0        705
YELLOW       3.0 to 6.0       1415
GREEN        6.0 to 9.1       2830

     Receiver Location Color Codes
             RF Coil Set      IF Coil
RED           Antenna          First
YELLOW        RF Amp           Second
BLUE          Oscillator       Third

     Transmitter Oscillator Frequency Color Codes
BLACK         2.1 to 3.0
BROWN         3.0 to 4.0
RED           4.0 to 5.3
YELLOW        5.3 to 7.0

FWIW, four years ago I posted this document which shows coil and major capacitor frequency ranges and part (drawing) numbers for all variants of "command set" units:

The tables in the above document need a correction:  The frequency range of the 1958 A.R.C. Type 12 receiver R-22 is 0.55 to 1.6 MHz, not the .52 to 1.5 MHz range of all earlier broadcast band receivers.
