I just bought a new honeywell programmable thermostat RTH230B. I had a old murcery switch thermostat it had red,blue,green,orange,white,and yellow wires in use I only have 5 places for the wires to go and I I'm not sure were to put the wires the new one has RH,RC,W,Y,C inputs what wires go were.

I am afraid you have a heat pump, and that thermostat won't work with it. See https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/heatin...ons-58313.html
Plus the instructions for the thermostat.
