The current USA level system uses these patch colors:
1. red
2. white
3. blue
4. yellow
5. orange
6. teal (blue-green)
7. silver
8. purple
9. brown
10. black
The new USA Skills System uses these colors for the Tier I Rider Base
skills:
1. yellow
2. orange
3. red
4. green
5. blue
6. violet
The color scheme for the other new skill sets hasn't been worked out
yet.
In all our research, we weren't able to find any standard anywhere for a
color progression. The new one is close to the color spectrum, but
doesn't follow exactly. It goes from lighter colors to darker, to
suggest getting stronger with the skills.
Also, in the new system, riders can skip sets in Tier I if they want,
but must test for Base 6, Violet, in order to move on to the next tier.
In Tier II, they can decide which skills to focus on, such as Artistic,
Technical, Juggling, UW, and others.
We're field testing them now. Please send me an e-mail if you want to
help with any of this: unicyclecentral at hotmail dot com.
Thanks!
