No primary non-commercial standard was found. Wikipedia's Script breakdown article asserts that 'The film industry has a standard for color-coding' and tabulates element colors and symbols (cast red, stunts orange, extras yellow or green, special effects blue, props purple, vehicles and animals pink, sound brown; wardrobe circle, make-up and hair asterisk), citing handbooks and informal sources. Entertainment Partners' Movie Magic Scheduling documentation says strip colors are assigned by the user from scene-header field values such as Time of Day and does not list default ordinary-strip colors on the page read. These are two layers: marking script elements versus coloring strips on the board.

Rationale:
The Wikipedia claim is recorded as an upstream claim; the MMS page text confirms configurability but is silent on defaults.

Counterevidence:
Commercial blogs seen in search results (not opened) were said by the search summaries to disagree with each other on colors; they are not evidence and are listed in coverage.excluded.

Uncertainty:
A guild, standards-body or educational primary source for stripboard colors may exist but was not found (question w2-t01-Q05).
