I'm just saying this because I got bitten by schematics documented by myself with 1-letter color codes. After a long enough time passes, you may as well not have written it yourself ... B = black ? brown ? blue ? -> bk/blk, bw/bwn, bl/blu G = green ? grey ? -> gn/grn, gr/gry I think that there is a standard for this (colors) too but I don't know which.
