Someone once told me that the colour arrangement dosnt really matter. You just have to make sure that the colours line up end to end for a patch cable, and that you cross one of the wires for a cross over. Was this incorrect? If not, then are there any meanings behind the colours?

I also heard that you can do this but I dont. I normally go for colour code on the internet and go by it.

I usually just buy a cable

Yeah buying them could work, but building your own is more economical.
