Peter,
You are correct. Any colored pair will work. Color coding makes it easier to
wire systems and to check the work. A color coded pair could be made from one
solid colored insulation and the same solid color with a white tracer(stripe),
or a solid color and a white insulated wire with the solid color as the tracer.
The correct pair connections for a straight through cable, regardless of the
color of the wire pairs are shown in the Linksys Site as Doug Simmons suggested
at http://www.linksys.com/tech_helper/cabling.html
