As I order all my s****s built for me I get to spec the color code the
heatshrink
I make it real simple
as I live in the states it's
first group RED
second group WHITE
third group BLUE

if other groups are needed its
Green then Yellow
returns are black

the #of channels determines the groups size
under 24 its groups of 4, over 24 its groups of 8
