Yep, I usually can find the exact color of wire I'm looking for.  As I 
mentioned before spare wiring harnesses are great here.

In the case of your window problem you shouldn't use brown or red since the 
two connections in quesion switch between ground and +12 depending on the 
direction the window motor is going.

If that's all you have laying around then I don't see a problem with it.  I 
try to duplicate the factory colors whenever possible.
