I think most 9 pin serial cables follow the standard resistor colour code only shifted one place - it is rather difficult to assign zero to a physical cable.
Colour code:
black - 0 shifted -1
brown - 1 shifted - 2
red - 2 shifted - 3
orange - 3 shifted - 4
yellow - 4 shifted - 5
green - 5 shifted - 6
blue - 6 shifted - 7
purple - 7 shifted - 8
grey - 8 shifted - 9
white - 9 shifted - -
That is how the old cables were wired that we have and it is also how most, but not all*, of the cheap chinese cables we cut up are wired.
*some cables use only 8 wires, 1 to 8 and follow the ethernet 568B wiring colour code.
