I'd not want to do that. Later electricians will find mauve, purple, fuscia
and olive wires. And not know which one is hot, or neutral. For the one time
expense, I'd suggest to buy new wire, and stick to the accepted colors for
hot, ground, and neutral.



By code all the wires will need to be "tagged" - all neutrals white,
all lines black (or possibly red) - at BOTH ends.
