Default Wiring, confused, please help

I thought I saw a post awhile back, but can't find. The wiring to the starter and solenoid, which is correct? I thought it said that the yellow wire goes to the "S" terminal and the purple wire to the "R" terminal. Yet my wiring diagram shows the reverse, which is right?
