Nobody seems to agree on this standard, but believe it or not the red stripe is actually negative (confirmed according to my multimeter).

For as long as I've known electronics, since I was a child, the only teachings I've ever had was that the stripe indicates negative.
Wires can be all sizes and colours, Usually it was white with a black stripe, but sometimes a grey stripe, sometimes a white stripe on a coloured wire, could be a green stripe, or a yellow stripe, or any coloured stripe. So when the stripe is red, does this make an exception to the rule? -- No, why should it? it's 1 out of an infinite number of colours, just as by that token positive and negative dont have to be red and black, they can be anything and anything.

It frustrates me when people put red terminals on the ends of a wire that has a red stripe
