Subject: Re: FW: [motm] Cable color scheme advice?

The acronym for wavelength color order is ROYGBIV - red, orange,
yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet

So if you were going to map that to Larry's colors, magenta would be
the 6' length and purple would be the 1' length. But you would have
to leave out a color.

Hey Larry, how about offering a 5' length so's we can complete our
rainbow correctly (forget indigo)?
