Phone cable Wire Colors

I know this question has been asked before. But the wires I have and their colors don't match anything I have read.

I need to replace this old phone jack with a regular new one.

Here is what I see:

Red-Green with Red-Green and Black
White-Red with White-Red and White
Red with Green and Green
Green and White

Now what? Sorry I can't seem to be able to add pictures from the mobile site.

Thank you.

Welcome to the forums.

I'm not really sure what you are seeing. Phone jacks usually have 4 wires..... red, green, yellow and black.

You may have multiple cables at that one jack. The phone only requires two wires to work.
Red and green on most jacks. Did you see red and green on the old jack ?
