Hi Guest Wires will often be different colours but the way to wire the output jack is as follows.

from the earth terminal on the jack, run a wire to the ground which is normally on the top of the Volume pot. Then from the positive (Or live) side of the jack run a wire to the Middle terminal of the Volume pot.

If you have a meter, to find ground terminal, put the meter on the continuity setting place one of the meters probes just inside the jack and with the other probe touch both terminals the one that gives a reading is the ground terminal.
