External flashing guides: don't refer to red.
Colour blindness is real, and quite common. What's worse, 3.3V on an ATX PSU is an orange wire, not a red wire. Someone looking at "red" in the documentation might not think that you mean 3.3V live/hot (red is the standard colour), but instead they might connect the red wire from the ATX PSU which is 5V; this will destroy the flash chip. Also, red and orange look the same to most colour blind people.
