I'm not sure about the color, but if the wire is part of the headlight wiring harness, it's not supposed to be connected to anything. A lot of folks use it as a source for switched power for GPS's and such.

the wire is for the Euro-spec "position" or "city" light.
many Euro vehicles use a 5 watt bulb inside the headlight for this function.
as mentioned above, many riders use this to attach an accessory 12 volt +
