Are the any standard colour-codes or conventions for labeling central heating, water and gas pipes?

I'm looking at insulating the pipes in my cellar and am considering marking up the flow/return and H/C water pipes as I'm going along.

Appreciate that yellow is for gas and possibly red/blue for hot/cold water, but what about CH flow and return?
 
Use climaflex insulation and just put a ring around of coloured electrical tape every metre or so.
Use different colours for flow return if you like, good idea, just reference it somewhere obvious ie near the boiler.
