Default Dust plug colors for loader hoses

I have a JD 2030 with a 245 loader. I want to get the colored dust plugs for the four hoses that connect the loader to the mid valve.

What color is used for boom lift, boom lower, bucket dump, & bucket curl?

If anyone has the third mid remote, what colors were used for it's two functions?

A grapple is future plan.

Thanks in advance

You can use any colors you want as long as they are on the corresponding and correct couplers for the SCV hoses and function of your implement. Typically red,yellow,black and green. Green comes factory on the rear third valve.I used orange and blue on the rear to front for 4 in 1 bucket couplers.

Sincerely, Dirt

I found the answer:

Bucket cylinders: Yellow-head end, Black-rod end
Lift cylinders: Blue-head end, Red-rod end
3rd function cylinders: Orange- head end, Green-rod end

You are going to hate yourself if you mix colors no matter where you read that. As Dirtworkseqip said "You can use any colors you want as long as they are on the corresponding and correct couplers for the SCV hoses and function of your implement.". If you mix them up you will be plugging the wrong lines together a lot of the time.

Oops, sorry, miss read what you wrote.

Mine are the same setup as Dirtworkseqip uses and is the one that came on the machine.
