Color-wise most trailer connectors will use similar colors but they definitely don't all use the same. That would make life to easy.
By function though, the connectors need to be wired like the attached diagram. To determine the functions of the wires you would want to use a circuit tester like part # PTW2993 to figure out the function of them all and then wire accordingly.
