Default Radio wiring harness decode

The previous owner put in an after market amp and chopped up all the wiring. I did an internet search to decode what wire does what. The results for 1982 C.E. showed colors I don't have such as pink. Can anyone help? Also, why did they use so many yellow wires.

I believe yellow indicates that the line is 12vdc, switched and fused. Lots of things get powered that way. Orange is fused, but not switched, I believe. Red is straight 12vdc all the time.
So, red, orange, yellow are the primary ways power is used in the C3.

You have a memory feed harness and a power feed with speaker harness. 2 different harnesses.
The cut Lt.BLU and Dk.BLU wires look like they once went to rear speakers.
