Found this UTP cable once meant for telephones, want to reuse it for Ethernet. Is there some official translation of this color code to what is common on TP cable for Ethernet?

I think I'll just match colors as far as I can:

1 White

2 Grey

3 Yellow

4 Blue

5 Pink

6 Orange

7 Purple

8 Brown

Then I basically only need to remember that Grey is Green, and otherwise just use the colors as I'm used to.
