note bart Heh, odd, your list of colours is not entirely dissimilar to the [http://www.dc-daylight.ltd.uk/Valve-Audio-Interest/Component-Colour-Codes/Component-Colour-Codes.html|colour coding of numbers on electronic components], like resistors. That list is: <pre> 0 = black 1 = brown 2 = red 3 = orange 4 = yellow 5 = green 6 = blue 7 = purple 8 = grey 9 = white </pre> <P>Note that this code is partly based upon a normal rainbow, in the range from 2/red to 7/purple. On the low side, you can imagine it going to black over the intermediate colour between red and black: brown; but on the upper side, that isn't so cut-and-dried. 461272 461279
