In fact there is a color code in the documentation from TI. I would have thought it would be useful too. That is until the RJ11 to DB9 adapter kit I got had the wire colors on the RJ11 backward from what it is on the one TI used to make the instructions. Wasted a single insertion adapter. The pin numbers and a clear diagram of how to identify the pin numbers would be best.
