I'm weird with safewords, and normally don't use this method, but just have one that means "STOP!" However, I am getting into heavier and heavier sessions so I am going to introduce this method to my partner and go by the traffic light system.
I use the "stoplight" system most of the time. Also I've used it during a boudoir shoot; my avatar is from that shoot.
Green - Go ahead// everything is fine
Yellow - Starting to feel uncomfortable// back off a little (force, sensation, etc.)// maybe take a short break
Red - Stop everything immediately.

I go by a very similar system and have found it to work very well. The yellow bit is used as a sort of "warning" and a note to check in asap to find out what exactly isn't right.
