Both of the cables from my T@B 320 are red (one more red, one more pink) with no other marks or lines. How can I determine which one should go the positive or negative battery terminal? Thanks, V@B
It would be REALLY unusual to have a pair of + and - with one being more or less red than the other. It is more likely one of them is from the solar panel (or jack for one) and the other to the charger/12V supply. Can you take a picture? There really should be a black wire or two there.

In concept, I agree with @KK1L. However, I've seen some peculiar color schemes around T@B batteries. Sometimes I wonder if there wasn't perhaps a sale on a certain color wire so that is what got used...
Bottom line is that I would never make any judgement based on wire color. If in doubt, trace the circuits visually or with a multimeter.
More red and less red for + and - would be dangerous and a recipe for damage. Hard to imagine this wiring choice even in the face of supply issues. White or Black are what I have seen for neutral/ground. The odd one to get used to is Green often being a positive DC voltage, where with house AC wiring green (or bare wire) is earth ground...well and of course black being HOT in an 120V AC.
