I actually found it easier to just remember the colours as there weren't that many of them.
I never could remember resistor colour codes.
Then there were cable colour codes. I stood no chance with them, that's why I wrote them down in a note book. The multicore twenty-five way cables we used had twelve pairs for signals plus a screen. The colour code went something like, Red Black, Red Green, Red White, Red Yellow, then changed to something like, Black Green, Black Yellow etcetera.
When we had to use eighty way cables, I don't think there was a one of us could remember them.
There was something we learned at school, in German class I think, that was Ev'n Mad Tramps, but I cannot for the life of me remember what it was for now.
