Yes, that's the best advice, don't take anything for granted.

I have found where mating old and new harmonised colour wiring in a 2-way lighting circuit, I've wrapped brown tape around the red wire, grey tape around the blue wire and black tape around the yellow wire. This hopefully avoids confusion for the next person, but still best in all cases, to prove the correct routing of any wiring.
