u r correct about the colors.  sometimes u get wire that is other colors.  the book
goes to the white with orange stripe and then orange with white stripe.  This is part
of the bigger scheme of wiring for 625 pairs.  Blue is actually first then orange,
green, brown, slate, red, + + + +

someone can quote the words to remember this by!
