should the black go with the green, and the yellow with the red?

Yes.

Honestly, though: This, too, doesn't matter.

Many old-time phone techs may disagree but, many years ago, I located the
actual B.S.P. (Bell System Practice) that identified black as a TIP color and
yellow as a RING color.


I seem to recall that as well.. the cool colors (green, black) were tip,
and the warm colors (red, yellow) were ring.. but that only applies to
quad.. (pardon me: D-station wire)



In the standard 5 X 5 color matrix, the tip colors a
white, red, black, yellow, violet
the ring colors a
blue, orange, green, brown, slate


starting with the first tip color, and the first ring color, and incrementing
ring color, then tip color, you get 25 pairs.
