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

2003-02-19 by mate_stubb <mate_stubb@yahoo.com>

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)?
