Serpnt,

I'm sure there was a thread on this exact topic a few months ago.

If my memory serves me right then there was no defined colour. The stripes were put on so that the pit crew could recognise a specific driver back in the sixties.

I think others said that it was to identify a rookie driver, but the first suggestion seemed more sensible.
