O Yes thats the way to do it.
just read the colours from termination end does not matter where it is installed or just laying lose.
the printed black on white does rub off and not always easy to read with no light when you got your head stuck in a panel.
what then if cables are disconnected? which is why a correct all the same method is required. we read left to right so this applies also from cable/ wire end. there is no valid reason argument to any other way unless you wish to just add confusion.

An answer to this.
i think there is only one correct way and a very good reason why.
MOD standards were always to read from termination end.
very simple and very obvious reason why!
to avoid any confusion in reading it.
if colour coded numbers are used you can read the colours...
