If you have a connector that is fairly standard, and you change the
pinout, you risk getting in trouble when someone connects up that
power supply to their motherboard assuming that common connector is
indeed using the common pinout.


Well, Dell computers in the Pentium 3 era used a dedicated PSU with a
conventional ATX connector but the pin assignment was different from
the standard. They made an arrangement with Intel to get motherboards
using that non standard ATX connector.

Most people won't notice the color coding, but will make sure
the connector is what they need.

Thus, changes are pretty high that the coloring of the wiring won't
mean a thing, but the power supply is using the standard connector
pinout. If they didn't want to be standard, they'd use a different
connector.


I wouldn´t be so sure. Better to be safe than sorry.
