Black, brown, then the fucking colors of the rainbow in order, gray, white.

If you need a mnemonic to memorize that, you're gonna have some trouble actually building out your lookup table in your head of immediately knowing that red=2, yellow=4, etc.

I've never clocked on that the colors are in the order of the rainbow. Mind blown that it's taken your comment to highlight this for me.

I also like that the colors surrounding are shades of lightness... cough cough let's ignore the brown.
