Color Breakdown

The colors are broken down based on the third digit in their codes:

1 = Yellow

2 = (other)

3 = Red

4 = Violet

5 = Blue

6 = Green

7 = Gray & Silver

8 = Brown

9 = Black

0 = White

Therefore, a color that appears blue, for example, may be listed with the greens. Those codes with two numbers are carry-overs from decades prior to the '80s; the code breakdown does not apply to them.
