Is using color-coded zoning maps a standard practice in urban planning?

I've been working on a project where I use a color-coded system to delineate residential, commercial, industrial, and mixed-use zones. Each color is chosen to make the map instantly readable, like a traffic light system for city planners. I keep wondering if this approach is just my personal quirk or if it's a common method in the field. Do other planners adopt a similar palette? If so, what are the typical colors used, and how do they impact stakeholder communication? I'm curious about the consensus and any guidelines that might exist. Also, if there are best practices for choosing colors that avoid confusion across different audiences, I'd love to hear about them. Thanks!
