Dear Mr. Raman,
First of all, thank you for the wishes. I reciprocate the same to you and your family.
I am not very familiar with the standard color coding for machine parts; therefore, I will refrain from commenting on that. Let's wait for other expert members to provide their input.
Now, regarding the machine guarding, please refer to the attachment which mentions the various types of machine guarding. If you require more information on machine guarding specifically, please let me know, and I will be happy to share my knowledge.
Thank you.

Dear Mr. Raman,
There are no specific standards regarding the color coding of machine parts. However, you can refer to the type of guards (as attached by Mr. Dipil) that are necessary to prevent direct contact with moving parts. You may choose to assign colors to the guards based on different hazards.

Dear Raman,
The standard says, "Yellow is used to identify physical hazards." If the guard of a machine does not present a physical hazard such as, but not limited to, tripping, falling, being struck by, or caught between, then there would be no need for color-coding.
However, when necessary, it is recommended to have the interior of a machine guard painted orange to indicate that the guard is kept open.
