About the closest thing I've seen to a convention is using the Red boxes for loads that you might need to pay attention to such as rifle loads for a handgun cartridge or "Ruger only" 45 Colt loads if you have other models of 45's.

I'm afraid that as soon as I tried a more complex color coding scheme that I wouldn't be able to get the color I wanted for some caliber. For plinking ammo I tend to use the green ones, you know the type, made of metal for Uncle Sam and hold several hundred rounds.
