Install of Category 5E 110 Keystone Jack

I'm trying to line up the wires of an RJ45 jack and am having trouble.

The wires are: Purple, White-Purple, White-Orange, Green, Orange, White-Green, White-Blue and Blue.

The jack shows a color display, but it seems cryptic to me. There are two small blue (I'm assuming this is White-Blue), two large blue (I'm assuming Blue-Blue), two small purple, (White-Purple ?), two large purple (Purple?), then on the other side of the jack are various combinations of orange-green (small orange-green, large orange-green), etc.)

Can someone please explain what the orange-green combinations are? Did I properly identify the other side of the jack?

Thanks.
 
I did not realize that this RJ45 jack is used for both a T568A and a T568B cable. The confusing brown/green color coding was intended to direct you for use with the 'A' cable or for use with the 'B' cable.

I think I've got it.
