Webbing Color Standardization?   Message List

RE: [SUSAR] Webbing Color Standardization?

If there isn't a standard may I suggest something from the Comm guys?   The very old but very well known resistor color code.   With color spray paint or tape, this can be used to number anything.   For example, a red and then an orange stripe on something would mean it's number 23.  

Ray Vaughan, COMM-S, FL TF1

First the code

Black

Brown

Red

Orange

Yellow

Green

Blue

Violet

Gray

White

0

1

2

3

4

5

6

7

8

9

The mnemonic

Bad Boys Ravish Only Young Girls But Violet Gives Willingly *

Some us taught by old-timers use: "Bad Boys Rape Our Young Girls Behind Victory Garden Walls."

Black is also easy to remember as zero because of the nothingness common to both.



 
Is there a standard color/size for webbing anchors?
 
Meaning a green piece or webbing is 4 foot, a yellow piece is 6 foot, etc?
 
In the process or re-doing our anchors and trying to be standard if such a thing exists.
