Default Wrong Colored Wires

So, I'm putting an aftermarket radio in my 95 accord lx I looked up the wire colors and all of the speakers (+) and (-) wires are right and connected nice and tight but when it comes to the power wires(excluding the ground) none of the colors match up. The constant wire on aftermarket radio is yellow on the car it should be blue with a white stripe there is no blue with white stripe I have a blue/yellow and blue/green but those are speaker wires. I have four wires left hanging in my dash board and the colors are as follows. Yellow with white stripe, red with black stripe, white with yellow stripe and white with red stripe. It seems I don't have my power wires please help!

The White/Red wire is to supply power to the radio when the ignition is ON. White/Yellow wire is battery (memory).

The wires I listed are power wires. The Red/White is the 12 volt with ignition on. The White/Yel is the 12 volt battery power, which is hot at all times.

yeah I know, I needed the colors and I didn't know the constant until you edited the post but I got them all hooked up and everything works but my antenna, now my antenna won't come up but there is no ant. control wire on my radios harness should I try the remote to it? You think it would make the antenna go up as when you turn the radio on it would turn an amp on?

The Yel/Wht is the power antennae control.
