White Brown

Although really, the color doesn't matter, just so you have pins 1,2,3 and 6 going to where they need to go. (And you keep your pairs together)

Almost, but not quite... You've got the green and blue pairs swapped from the way they should be.

568A is as follows:

White/Green
Green
White/Orange
Blue
White/Blue
Orange
White/Brown
Brown

JW310, FYI the most common standard is 568B. The colors in the message don't actually match either 568A or 568B.
