Help! Chart of colors standards in Urban Design

Gotan

Hi,
I am looking for the standard colors chart urbanist use.

Last time I presented some urban planning, I came up with my own colors and I had a hard time explaining to some old-schools urbanists intrigued over my 3d that yellow meant housings and not industrial! (or something like that)
