@jcarvelli , the well prepared installation instructions provided by Google Nest, advised you to take a picture of the old thermostat and its wires before disconnecting. Additionally we provided you with lettered stickers to put on each wire to keep them straight. So, look at the screen shot of the old thermostat and see if your can identify which color wire goes to which lettered terminal. Also, you do not have two yellow conductors.  One is a very dull white.  
Red wire to R or Rc

Green wire to G

Yellow wire to Y1

White wire to W1

Blue wire to C.

Thank you for the reply. Interesting, my sealed box did not have labels or instructions.
