Default Loctite color codes

I took a part off my bike that had yellow loctite. I had a hard time finding the color codes. This chart is fantastic.

Permatex and other manufacturers make thread lockers, their colors don’t coordinate, what do you do with that?
Shouldn’t you use assembly instructions when choosing a thread locker instead of what it appears the last person used?

Sometimes there is no directions. Like a used bike with aftermarket parts. The only yellow thread lock I’ve seen was added at the factory. I assume they know what they are doing.
Most discussions only mention red and blue. I like seeing more information
