"by Lisa Charlotte Rost". Yup, that's a woman article. I mean just by looking at the "green" I was like "let's see who wrote it". Story: I have 2 USB cables, need it to make a longer one so i thought "let's get rid of the heads at one side, a bit of soldering of them wires and I'm golden. How hard can it be?". So I cut the sides, got rid of exterior isolation to get to individual wires and then i was like "uhmm, what colors are these?". So I called my wife "honey, tell me what colors do you see here?". And she comes, takes less then a second look at them and starts: "this is light blue, this is magenta, this is black, this is cream white and this is dark green". Me on the other hand I was seeing some weird green, a dark blue, maroon, yellow and light blue. And we start to bicker about colors. I swear to God, for an hour we went back and forth, involved the kids as well. Well my daughter sided with my wife while my boy sided with me. I end-up attaching post-it on each wire with numbers 1 through 5 and used my multimeter to identify which wire goes to what USB pin. Conclusion: There is a reason why classic vibrant colors are used when you create diagrams or paths on a PCB - to easily identify who's what, not to play hide and seek. They might be boring but this is not fashion
