Found this UTP cable once meant for telephones, want to reuse it for Ethernet. Is there some official translation of this color code to what is common on TP cable for Ethernet?

Apparently an old-style French phone cable. For phone uses, it is:

1 grey

2 transparent/pink

3 white

4 brown

5 blue

6 yellow

7 purple

8 orange

Looks like that pairing is unsuitable for Ethernet, so I'll use something else.
