Converse All Star - A Rainbow of Colors
The colors of the rainbow can be remembered by the fictitious name "ROY G. BIV,"
a mnemonic for:
Another mnemonic used for this, given to me by a British reader, is "Richard
Of York Goes Battling In Vain."
Converse has made the "Chuck
Taylor" All Star in all these colors, and others.
Most colors have been made in several shades. The colors marked "CORE" (red
and indigo blue) are ones that Converse attempts to keep
in stock at all times. The other core choices are classic
black, monochrome black, optical white,
unbleached white, and the "Stars and Bars" pattern.
