The wire colours in the wiring diagrams are really quite easy to understand they usually use the first and last letters of the wire colour with the / symbol to separate it from another as per the example 
I hope this helps explain things a little. the schematic wiring diagrams are available for download if you require them.

I had guessed that the letters were the colours, but from experience of Ford they do not have a simple correlation between letters and colours. Namely there is no guarentee that Bl is Black and not Blue.
I was wondering whether there was a list of codes and colours.

Maybe it's just me but I don't have much trouble interpreting the 2-letter codes, but then I've built electronics stuff for decades and have used very similar 2-letter codes in my own drawings.
Picking any Scorpio diagram at random (central locking) I deduce:
BK = black
BN = brown
RD = red
OG = orange (most likely, got those letters in 'OranGe')
YE = yellow
GN = green
BU = blue
VT = violet
If there's a grey, most likely GR or GY
WH = white
Note correct interpretation of colour codes can be hampered by being too light / too dark / faded / stained / missed the smaller colour stripe if it's 2-colour wire because it's hidden / difficult to see / whether you are colour blind
Note #2. the colours may also be used to represent numbers, e.g. as in resistor colour codes (stripes on body)
Black = 0; brown = 1; red = 2; orange = 3; yellow = 4; green = 5; blue = 6; violet = 7; grey = 8; white = 9
