I Am Trying To Connect New Phone Jack. Old Wire Colors Are Red,blue,white With Red Stripe, And White With Green Stripe. Does Anyone Know Which Colors Go To The Corresponding Colors In New Jack?

Are you in the US?
Usually the pairs are: white/blue to green, blue/white to red, white/orange to black and orange/white to yellow.
Hope you have not disconnected old jack yet. You could look for 48 Volts on a pair of wires.
The Negative goes to red, and the positive goes to green.
Also, maybe remove another jack and check configuration, whoever wired it, usually will wire the same.
