Blue/red or green/orange. But it's probably tarnished brown/yellow from oil and heat.

If it turns out be a brown wire then it is most likely a ground wire for something, I don't know what though.

According to the diagram in the filebase, neutral is light green/orange, at least that's what the colors appear to be in the PDF, (which is pretty clear).
Brown is usually switched positive. I can't imagine any reason for a switched positive down there. Usually I find most of the wires down there have a brown grimey look to them.

The neutral wire will appear to behave like a switched hot wire, but it is actually the ground side of the light bulb. Since the ground is lifted, it will appear like a hot wire, but will not provide current like a normal hot wire.
Now that I look closer at the diagram, the neutral wire looks like it may actually be light green with red stripe, instead of orange stripe.
If the wire is truly a switched hot wire, I can't imagine what it would be for.
Here is the wiring diagram, by the way.
