Did you have the new alternator tested before you installed it?I always do in case it's bad so i don't chase my tail by installing a bad alternator.Also fully charge your battery.With the key off at the black and grey wire on the alternator you should have battery voltage.Also at your dark green and orange wire at the alternator you should have battery voltage.Let me know what you find.
