If so, what colors should match? My cable box does not have Y Pb R ports, but my TV does.

Nothing happens with RYW cables, but when I use the YPbR I get a fuzzy picture and static sound.

No, use classic RCA (Red, Yellow and White) Cables, the Yellow is video, the Red and White are audio channels.

Just use the red and white jacks from the audio to each, and the yellow for video. On almost all devices, the component input/output green component can also be used as the video if you run out of places to plug in. You may have one of the audio jacks plugged into a component jack on either unit. Color coding is not important for the cables, but where each connects is. Hope this helps

Those ports on your TV are the component video input jacks. If you don't have them on your cable box, it's because you don't have an HDTV cable box. To get one, you have to subscribe to your cable company's HD package. They will then give you a box with the component video outputs that you would connect to those inputs on your TV.
You also have to connect audio cables from your HD cable box to your TV. The component video cables are just that: video. And, unless you hook up the audio cables too, you won't get any sound on your TV when you select the HD input.
With your current equipment, you have to hook up the yellow video output from the cable box to the yellow standard video input on your TV. The red and white cables are then hooked from the red (right) and white (left) audio outputs to the corresponding inputs on the TV.

Component cables are not composite cables. you can try it.. on composite cables (red, white & yellow), it doens't really matter which goes where.. as long as the red on one end is red on the other, white on one end is white on the other, etc.. As far as I know though, the wires within component cables are a different gauge than what's in composite cables. You can get converters from composite to component though.
