Need help wiring my radio (maybe a dumb question)

I give up, i searched and the wire colors are different... my harness is chopped, that is why i need help... If someone could please just say which wires go to which other wires, that would be the best answer.
Here is what colors are in the car chopped:

Grey
Grey/ White stripe
Dk Green/ White
Brown/ Yellow
Black
Orange
Yellow
Yellow/ thin brown
Lite blue/ white
Dark Blue/ White
tan/ white
lite green/ white
pink
brown

Here are what colors are on the back of the radio, it it is a pioneer DEH 2100 (used free so dont hate)
(again no order)
Yellow (with a "battery" tag on it)
Black
Blue / White (system remote control tag on it)
red ( ACC tag on it)
White
White / Black stripe
Green
Green/ Black
Grey
Grey/ Black

My problem is there are 14 Wires in the car and the radio harnes only has 12... I have a power antenna that i want to work as well... please help me.

That was the site i was looking at, the "typical new radio equivalent wire color chart is what my question is about, i dont have an orange wire on my radio, I also dont have a sold blue and the only blue i do have says "system remote control" on it.

Ok I know Jim will be better help but I will try....

Car harness:

Orange-constant power
Pink/faded Red-main power from ignition (ACC)
Black-Ground
Gray-1st speaker
Grey/ White stripe-1st speaker
Brown-2nd speaker
Brown/ Yellow-2nd speaker
Dk Green/ White-3rd speaker
lite green/ white -3rd speaker
Lite blue/ white -4th speaker
Dark Blue/ White -4th speaker
Now for the tan and yellow wires one or two will be power and most likely ground for the antenna and the one other will be unused buy the pioneer deck and you will have to use the power output on the deck(Blue)to the positive antenna wire on your car harness and ground the other one more then likely

Now for the Pioneer harness:

Yellow-Constant power
Black-Ground
Blue-Antenna output
Red-Main power from ignition (ACC)
White-1st speaker
White / Black stripe-1st speaker
Green-2nd speaker
Green/ Black-2nd speaker
Grey-3rd speaker
Grey/ Black-3rd speaker
Purple-4th speaker
Purple/ Black-4th speaker


Now I will most likely be wrong about the extra wires on the car harness but hey I tryed lol, and you will have to experement with matching the car speaker wires to the deck harness and I just used the numbers as a reference and they are not in any order, good luck with that!!!
