Today at school I managed to learn two things from my students before the morning was even half over.
A freshman taught me a great (and OBVIOUS once you know it) mnemonic
for remembering the order of the colors in hexadecimal color codes. The
order is Red, Green, Blue – and you can use Roy G. Biv
– the same mnemonic used to remember the colors of the rainbow. Can’t
believe I never thought of that before. Way better than Really Gross Bug.
Then one of my sophomores cleared up the mystery of “grey vs. gray” for me. Here’s a site that covers it: http://www.greyorgray.com/
