/diy/ - Do It Yourself

So I finally got myself a wire crimper since I don't want my wires to slip out of terminals. Problem is, after looking into it, it appears that my ferrule colors are abso-fucking-lutely not adherent to the color standards they should be, or at least not any I can find. To add to the confusion, pic related says 0.5mm^2 wires should be put in the white ferrule, and the box says that white ferrules should be used with 22AWG, but the charts I've found say that 20AWG is 0.518mm^2 and 22AWG is 0.326mm^2, which is definitely undersized for that.

What do? I've got 18AWG and 20AWG wires I need to crimp and no fucking idea what size ferrule I should be using for them.
