Default Speaker wiring colours

Okay, so I have a friend who has a tourer Rover 75 2002. He has previously had the type with the amp in the back, so my plan is to run cables from the speaker wires to the front and put in a more modern head unit. Anyone know what the colours of the speaker wires are so I don't have to take the door cards off to find them?

Okay, so no reply.
I took the front door card off, found the colours of the wires, traced them back to a connector in the boot on the right hand side.
Cut the connector off (blew the radio fuse in the process).
Then, (now with the battery disconnected) I put a 9 volt battery across the (thin, no voltage) wires to buzz out the speakers and identify which were which. Put in an 8 connector "chocolate box" and ran an 8 core wire to the head unit.

I didn't bother with an ariel extender becaue nowadays you can stream the radio.

Works a treat
