Here, is the order of the 25 pair color code.  This is from
memory and I don't use it often anymore, but I pretty sure its correct.

I don't know of any relationship between red/green/yellow/black
quad cable and this code.

w/bl	bl/w		w = white	bl = blue
w/o	o/w		r = red		o = orange
w/g	g/w		bk = black	g = green
w/br	br/w		y = yellow	br = brown
w/s	s/w		v = violet	s = slate

r/bl	bl/r
r/o	o/r
r/g	g/r
r/br	br/r
r/s	s/r

bk/bl	bl/bk
bk/o	o/bk
bk/g	g/bk
bk/br	br/bk
bk/s	s/bk

y/bl	bl/y
y/o	o/y
y/g	g/y
y/br	br/y
y/s	s/y

v/bl	bl/v
v/o	o/v
v/g	g/v
v/br	br/v
v/s	s/v
