Honest Bob has a little joke with you...

Go to Google - Select Images - Enter Ceiling Rose - Observe the wire colouring scheme - alternatively engage the services of a polite tradesman.

Good luck...

Keep trying different combinations until it works.
You could even try it live to save time.

An electrician wouldn't, but they cost money.
