So why is this important? Well, standards for one. That's why so many folks have learned a "right way" to do it, and some will be upset if you do it *differently* than they're anticipating. And for good reason as unexpectedly terminating a cable in different ways on each end can result in headaches.

But, why not just pair the colors off? Why doesn't solid-green come *after* white-green? Why is blue there instead?

For the best reason in the world, legacy!
