The ditty I was taught by an old tip and ringer to remember 25pr color code I no longer remember. I do remember that it was not repeatable to wives, kids or preachers.

Blue Bell
Orange Operators
Green Give
Brown Better

White Why
Red Run
Black Backward
Yellow You'll
Violet Vomit

Red Rogers
Black Buys
Yellow Yellow
