Confused on old wiring color conventions
I am helping my sister-in-law with some wiring in her 1970's vintage home. when I opening up the junction box I was confused by the wiring colors. The wires appear to be black and tan rather than black and white or black and red as I am used to in more modern homes.
Is this normal? Is the black still the hot?

So, the color conventions were the same back in the '70s. Just wanted to check,
