Any gauge will do, the currents are small. Even AWG 26 is plenty. So anything that Daze sells, the smallest gauge, is good.
As for the colors, are you doing a museum quality restoration? If not, just use whatever colors you use for wiring the chassis, and enough variety to discern when twisting together 3 or 4 of them.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
