There is a "softer" version, but I don't know that one.
Here is the sequence:
Black, Brown, Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Violet, Gray, White, Gold, Silver.
It's not in the NEC. I don't know about the handbook to which you refer. I still remember the color code; my oldest brother taught it to me over 50 years ago. I can't publish the mnemonic that he told me, in order to help me remember it. It's not polite. (Note: After I posted this, I noticed that another member posted that mnemonic. I had to delete it.)

Welcome to the forum.
Ha, I was going to post the same thing. We just talked about this at work the other day, I asked my fresh out of the Navy guy about the one I was taught and he laughed and said no way would that fly these days.

See post #2, and those following it.Bad Boys ____ our young girls but Violet gives willingly.
If it's the one I know, it's racist and misogynistic, plus it leaves out the tolerance percentages!
That is the one I learned when in college. And though I don't find it to be all that offensive, that is probably the dirtiest phrase I ever heard come out of that particular instructor's mouth.That chick Violet, she’s a hoe

Gold and silver are tolerances gold is 5% tolerance, silver is 10% tolerance and no band is 20% tolerance.
Sin is always an issue, and references to a tan gent get interesting too. :angel:That is the one I learned when in college. And though I don't find it to be all that offensive, that is probably the dirtiest phrase I ever heard come out of that particular instructor's mouth.
They will delete the phrase I learned to remember the trigonometry functions if I posted that - but a lot of dirty stuff came out of that instructor's mouth - made things easy to remember though
