Good idea Joe.
Years ago my mentor would save every old harness taken out of a vehicle (so do I to this day). We used to do lots of insurance fire burnouts. Sometimes a harness would get replaced which then gave us lots of materials to work with on another harness. Not just the connector ends, but also the wires themselves. Much better to select a foot or two of the same guage wire WITH the existing colour coding to match so anyone working on the vehicle later wasn't faced with one colour changing to another colour then changing back to the original colour.
Some manufacturers change colour at different connectors from one end of a circuit to the other. THAT is NUTS AFAIC, especially in todays vehicles.
Maintaining colour code integrity makes things much easier later on.
