The 'sword' buff icon that pops up when you are channeling an elemental attack corresponds to the 'protection' buff icon that pops up when you are under a resistance.
I.e: Shocking grasp scrolls give you a yellow sword, the Clerical insulate spell gives you a yellow protection icon.
Lightning attacks = yellow.
Drain attacks = purple
Fire attacks = red
Acid = brown
Piercing = silver?
Poison = green
The colour your screen flashes when you're hit with an attack also corresponds with the damage type you are taking.
Fire and 'normal' damage both have the same screenflash colour (red), as do piercing and drain damage (purple).
This is all from memory, as I havent played in years.
