    If black, pink and white are from ceiling,(Black MAY be Fan, Pink MAY be light from the 2 switches/Verify,if not known.
    On the fan the green/yellow IS ground, black IS fan, and blue IS light.
    Be careful, work with power off.
    So Black to Black, White to White, Pink to Blue, Green/Yellow to Green, Most likely.
