Is there a reason for this? If I know the reason maybe it will be easier to remember.

Thanks.

For all the theories that some can come up with, I believe someone at Keystone had a bunch of those black positive, white ground stickers made up and they rolls of the correct gauge wire in those colors. Hence a new sorta-standard.
