I set enemy to yellow. It's much easier for me to see them against the ground and sky.

It makes sense.  Good guys green.  Bad guys red. 

On the other hand, I have heard of the military standard being blue and red.  I just hadn't thought of it in this context until you brought it up.  Interesting.

Now the descriptive "Blue on Blue" for friendly fire makes more sense now

First I have ever heard of a NATO standard. Seemed like an  obvious to me choosing green and red as in stop go, good bad.

Squad is set to a Pink hue. All others are the default colors.
