different to the above, yes, but still an easy find.

 

 

I only know red, green, white and black wires but in this case, the colors are definitely different

Cheapo Chinese cable with bad colors, you'll need to check continuity with the actual plug and match that way.

They're basically faded versions of the standard, but I'd check anyway. Some really do mess completely, already had cables with black/red reversed...

Whats funny is there's actually 2 standards (one for cables and another for internal headers) and these colours match neither of them.
