A lot of these words are derived from the Greek or Latin roots that mean what the word is used to mean in English. It's helpful to look up the etymology or understand what these roots mean because they come up all the time and in different combinations.

Answer:
"Code Red" and "Code Blue" are both terms that are often used to refer to a cardiopulmonary arrest, but other types of emergencies (for example bomb threats, terrorist activity, child abductions, or mass casualties) may be given "Code" designations too.
