RGB monitor input wiring color codes

[Sam Goldwasser]

I'm trying to figure out the input signals on a monitor that there is no
documentation for. The red, green & blue wires I think are a no brainer. All
the blacks seem to be common. But there is a white wire and a tan wire
(probably h sync and v sync ?) Just thought there might be a standard wiring
color before I try trial & error (smoke).

Nope. If you only have 2 unknown wires, try it both ways.
