Colour coding can be used for storage crates, dusters, date labels, cleaning buckets and knives.

Yellow crates (similar to vegetable crates): Dry unboxed items
Red: meat/poultry
Blue: Seafood
in some cases floors are also color coded e.g. red in butchery areas and yellow in ready to eat process areas.

well explained by Jomy, further building up what he said, you can also apply color coding for Unboxing crates as well such as:
Yellow crates (similar to vegetable crates): Dry unboxed items
Red: meat/poultry
Blue: Seafood
in some cases floors are also color coded e.g. red in butchery areas and yellow in ready to eat process areas.
