Mate, these wires are not any colours that are used in the UK, somebody ( an electician ? ) has wired the extensions in alarm wiring, however you can use these wires if you know where the other end of them are, otherwise I would not touch them as they may still be connected to your house alarm. If you do know where both ends of the cable are, it doesn't matter which ones you use providing you stay the same both ends, the important terminals are 2 and 5 line, 3 ringing leg, BT wiring is blue 2, orange 3, white/blue 5. Hope this helps any more probs repost and I'll get back to you.

The pairs are:
Red + Green
Yellow + Black
Blue + White (this isn't standard - are you sure these are telephone - are they white with a blue stripe and solid blue?)
If it's wired correctly, the signal for line one should be on the red and green and so on down the list. Red is ring (positive) and green is tip (negative).
I've listed them in the positive negative order. You need to get this right or some devices won't work even if you have dial tone.
If you are plugging directly into the phone, green will be the left center pin and red will be the right center pin for line one. With more info, I could be clearer. What are you using between the wires and the phone?

Using a voltmeter, read across the Red/Green pair you should have 50 volts when phone is not in use. Try the Blue/White pair too, In some color coding Blue/White is first. The pair reading 50 volts are the two wires that are 'live"

you'll probably find it was connected to an internal socket at somepoint, as phone cables these days run on 2 wires and goes through a converter in your house which changes it to 4 wires, the other 2 are not used, so i'd say if there is anything on it then its connected to a conversion box in your house semewhere.

You reported hate maximum of cases there that possibly you will desire to get this guy or woman out of your existence completely. no longer stable for you. To get your footwear you will desire to call the electrical powered company or the telephone company and have them deliver out a worker to get them down. they might charge your cash to do this. yet they in all probability desire the footwear down besides so it does not harm their wires. interior the period in-between circulate get a clean pair of footwear and don't enable that hateful hater liar to return around you anymore. he's impolite.
