And if you are making a crossover, I wouldn't rely on the colours -
there's multiple correct options for those. And none of the colours is
red :-)

And as for cutting and joining - you're going to get a pretty awful
cable that way, and unreliable at speed. Better to cut one plug off and
put a new one on, but that requires a plug and crimper.

But as Tomas says, if either end is remotely recent, it's a non-issue.
