you NEVER match colors. You've probably already fried the new radio.
you should have just bought a wiring harness adapter instead of cutting wires. Now that you've cut them though, try going to the12volt.com and using the installer database of vehicle color wiring codes to look up your car and see which wires you should have used.

smell the deck, then check fuse on radio, then if you have no power supply, twist red&yellow together, then use battery from car to test the radio to see if it powers up,... touch the ground to ground and the twisted red/yellow to power...see what you get. |

problem is he doesn't seem to know which wire is what in the car itself.
he needs to look up the color codes.

At this point, if he burned the radio, i would eliminate it first, then go to 12volt and get the wiring diagram for the car. sucks to wire everything back up and radio is bad. |

oh sure.. but either way he'll need those codes.
if I wasn't so lazy I'd go find them and paste em here.. lol
anyway, need to check the radio, the fuses in the radio and the car's fuse box, and find the codes.. in whatever order suits ya
