	If you want a good source of help on this, get a copy of the 
original series TEchnical Manual, which I believe is back in print in
a 25th anniversary edition in many bookstores (Waldenbooks usually has them).
There is a page or two on letters and colors.  The microgramma is
essentially correct, although there are a couple of differing flavors
of it.....
