black and white are usually standard and orange is usually flooded underground.
But someone could do what they want within those colors. ex: White on incoming from dish, black going out to receivers, blue to jumper between them, etc. I just didn't see a reason why some in the picture were white and some black.

no I bought two partial spools of 1694, one was black, one was white. The red and the blue is Beldens 4.5ghz RG59 "1505", and color coded for fun.

I know, a lot of wire for 1 drop, but that was "then", now there are 2! drops and some other cables for feeding the rcvr channel 3 outs into other rooms. Also, I've moved my receiver since then, so that paid off also. Also added a third satellite. The point is, all these changes take about a minute now to do. (If I didnt cut my cables precise to length...)

I love the 1694. I will replace my longest outdoor run (cheap steel cable) with it this Summer and call it good.
