why are my radio shack component cables red, white and yellow?


composite video is usually yellow and the red and white are audio which all 3 combined are just standard a/v cables but the ones someone gave me are component video YPbPr which is just one HD video connector separated through 3 separate cables, however some geek squad type home theater company set up there whole system. the cables they set them up with are red white and yellow like composite A/v but there actually component video RGB they labeled them red green
blue with stickers on each cable, so why are the component video disguised as composite video and audio?

Color coding is a relatively recent convenience.

Cable is cable. The guy probably didn't have any the right colour in the car. I've got a lot of black and gray ones in my system that I used because that's what was laying around in my electronics drawer when I set it up. The electrons don't care.
