What do the colour codes on PC&L, BM and Confusion stand for?
[/innerurl] Peter Saville designed a colour code for use on several releases circa-83. The decoder is the wheel design on the reverse of the cover to Power, Corruption and Lies. To clear things up a little, the colour wheel describes the meaning of the coloured squares on (not only) Power Corruption & Lies, (but also) Blue Monday and Confusion. To decode the wheel, use only the outer two rings. You could divide the outer two rings into full colour, various on green, and various on yellow. The inner segments appear to be meaningless. Start with the full colour sections, the first of which will be the green one… This is ‘A’. Work your way clockwise naming each colour the next letter. There are exactly 26 segments around the disc. From ‘Z’ work back into the full colours, the first of which is ‘1’. This means that the full green segment is either ‘A’ or ‘1’, and the colour for ‘I’ is also that for ‘9’. You should be able to decode the squares now. Start with the 5 on the front of Power
