Default Dimmer wire?

I'm installing my HU mount and I'm trying to get it to illuminate and dim with the dimmer switch. What color is the dimmer wire?

I searched and found a post that said it was orange but im almost positive that is not correct.

Aftermarket HU? Any good After market HU won't use the dimmer. You have to adjust in the HU settings.

I wanted to use it to dim my lighted Hu mount from Humount.com. Too bad that thing is a piece o garbage and didn't even fit. Cash wasted.....O well.

But it is the orange one eh?
