Colour + Ship error codes - is there a chart of what they mean?

Dinnae get me wrong, Orange Sidewinders and Taupe Cobras are infinitely more memorable than 0x008631e but as a nosy sod I'd like to know what the errors mean,so I was wondering if anyone had a chart / table / list of these and what they mean? For example, Orange Sidewinders seems to be related to an over saturated system, with too many players and or carriers, but what to the rest of the codes mean?
 
It’s bad when FD gives catchy names to all too frequent error messages.

TBH, before Odyssey (which I haven’t bought), I haven’t gotten any of those messages on my PC.

Those catchy error codes were implemented to make it easier for the player to remember it when contacting customer support with their problem, compared to more technical terms or even opaque numerals. They facilitate a line of communication between the layman and the expert.
