The colors only matter if you are trying to pair up to an already headed end. Whats more important is the pins you use. For cat5e and normal 10/100 ethernet you only use pins 1,2,3,and 6. Cat5e has 4 paired wires (orange-white / orange/ blue-white / blue / green-white / green / brown-white / brown) A typical standard head is colored this way, starting from pin 1-8: 1) orange-white 2) orange 3) green-white 4) blue 5) blue-white 6) green 7) brown-white 8) brown So, its possible to use the orange pair, and green pair for one outlet, then re-wire the blue pair and brown pair to the second outlet as long as its headed to use pins 1,2,3,6 on both ends.
The standard for CAT5e is 100 metres
Generally speaking, UTP of Cat5, Cat5e, or Cat 6 is physically terminated with either an RJ-45 plug or RJ-45 jack. The wiring pattern depends on whether you are using 568A or 568B as your cable standard.

Cat6 cable is very similar to Cat5e cable. It is, simply put, just held to a stricter standard than Cat5e cable. Since Cat6 is made to a higher standard than Cat5e it will support higher speed transfers. Cat5e cable can be used for networks up to a 1Gbps speed while Cat6 is currently rated for up to 10Gbps speed. Cat7 takes this even further and supports 40Gbps. For normal usage on networks up to 1Gbps and no run being longer than 100 meters, Cat5e is completely sufficient for the network. To ensure forwards compatibility it may be worthwhile to install Cat6 cable while you're at it so you don't hit a speed cap in your network down the road.
