Pd had to be learned. There's not much natural things in Pd. After Pd is learned, it may seem contextually natural that a certain thing be done a certain way. However, Pd doesn't have a vocabulary of colours.
(Some of my patches introduce a vocabulary of colours, such as: yellow is configuration; light green is monitoring; green means "start"; red means "record" or anything that one has to be careful with. However I've not been too consistent with that and I've never really tried getting other people into a standard of color codes)
