I'll start off by saying that factory wire coloring does not always correspond to what is typically used on wiring harnesses, so you'll want to test each wire to make sure that it has the proper function that corresponds to the color using a circuit tester like the # PTW2993.
The color code for wiring harnesses varies between industries. In particular, SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) standard wiring differs from the RV industry's standard wiring. The standard for both is as follows:
SAE Standard
Green: Right turn/brake light
Yellow: Left turn/brake light
Brown: Tail/running lights
White: Ground wire
Blue: Brake controller output
Black: Battery hot lead
Purple: Reverse lights
RV Standard
Green: Tail/running lights
Yellow: Reverse Lights
Brown: Right turn/brake light
White: Ground wire
Blue: Brake controller output
Black: Battery hot lead
Red: Left turn/brake light
I've also linked a photo that illustrates how 7 way plugs on vehicles and trailers will be wired, as well as some photos that you requested.
