Indeed! Others will say what colours to hook up, but in my experience -
the colours are meaningless in low voltage wiring.

Colors don't matter if YOU are the
only one to ever service the system.
Understand that there are people who
are supposed to be service techs who
are lost when the wire colors don't
match up. That's why there are color
codes and standards to go by. It makes
it easier for those who need a little
hand holding.
