When I made the reference to "two red lips" regarding resistor colors I didn't quite explain what that meant. It was a way I learned, way back when, to remember which color was which number on a resistor. I hadn't thought about it in years. It used rhyming and references scheme to line the colors up with values.
0- Black - It's a "no" color, a zero 1- Brown - 'brow-one' 2- Red - Two red lips 3- Orange - Orange tree 4- Yellow - Yell for help 5- Green - a five dollar bill is green 6- Blue - Blue and sick 7- Violet - Violet heaven 8- Gray - Great 9- White - White wine
