"resistor color coding"!! Now there's a flash from the past .....
 
Black, Black
Boys, Brown
Rape, Red

Young, Yellow
Girls, Green
Blessed, Blue
Virginity, Violet
Gone, Grey
West, White
 
The Mnemonic we used back then might not be P.C. today but it worked
then!!

The first six are the same I learned, although the last four were "But
Violet Gives Willingly".

BTW, I once saw a clock that used six full-color LEDs (not 7-segment
displays) to show the time using that color code. At the time I'm writing
this, its brown-brown:black-violet:orange-white.
