The R & W terminal are the heat controls. The thermostat works like a switch, so wire color is not too important. Some cool info at the site below. Yes, it will work.

Before you connect the thermostat be certain that the wall wires are NOT 120V. If they are high voltage (120V) it could be dangerous AND you could fry your new thermostat. Good luck.
