Straight-through CAT5E cabling

Hi, ~ my cable company offers me Internet connection via a cable modem (road runner is the company I think) ~ I need to make a Straight-through CAT5E cable so I connect my wireless router to the modem ~ The thing is that the cable I got, even though it says "CAT5E" on the cover it is not showing me the same colors that are used to match the pins to the RJ45 connectors, as I see them in, e.g.: ~

I don't see any blue cable I am not Daltonic ~ I had done that before and I even got a cable near by to confirm the coloring, however the extra cables I got don't have the right coloring ~ Any ideas how to use them? ~ Thanks lbrtchx
