You are correct, the tow package wiring in your Silverado does not match up color for color with the controller.

The red/black tow package wire will connect to the black wire on the controller. The dark blue tow package wire connects to the blue wire on the controller, the light blue tow package wire connects to the red controller wire, and the white tow package wire connects to the white wire on the controller. The orange tow package wire is for an illumination circuit and is NOT needed. Just cap off the end of the wire and bundle it up out of the way. There also might be some final connections that need to be completed under the hood. These connections are shown in the install video I will link you to.

We have an install video that you might find helpful, see the provided link. The video shows an install on a 2011 Silverado, but the procedure would be identical on your vehicle.
