Adidas colour codes? -
Poor Sod - 28-10-11
They interest me and some codes are quite easy to figure out, but there are some that are a bit more cryptic. At least for me
Anyone here now how to spell out these abbreviations?
()=my and others guesses
AERRED = Aerosol Red
BARK
COLRED = Collegiate Red
COLROY = Collegiate Royal Blue
DMAJES = Deep Majestic Purple (?)
ECHWHT = Echo White
GRNTIN
LEGINK = Legend Ink
LGTSCA = Light Scarlett Red
METGOL = Metallic Gold
METSIL = Metallic Silver
MLEAD = Medium Lead
MUSBRO = Mustang Brown
REARED = Real Red
RUNWHT = Running White
SIMPLE
SUPCOL = Supplier Colour
TRUBLU= True Blue
UNIRED = University Red
WHTVAP = White Vapour
WONGLO = Wonder Glow Yellow
Edit: Corrected guesses
Edit again: More correction

I think METGOL and METSIL are Metallic gold and silver (but could be wrong...LOL...)
I'm pretty sure UNIRED is University Red and COLROY and COLRED is College Royal (blue) and College Red.
AERRED is Aerosol Red (whatever that is).

PS I'd say it was more of an internal thing that some wise ass trend spotter got paid loads for to baffle the pants out of everyone. I could be wrong though.

I like WONGLO and I don't want to know what it is.

Yes I'm dead serious!
Metallic off course
Aerosol Red. Makes sence.
College and University! Thanks DJ!
WONGLO is from the Yellow Campus 80s with white stripes.

Supplier colour, huh? It's on quite a few pairs. Also seen VNTG SUPCOL listed for one pair.
Bark is probably just bark, a shade of brown referring to bark of trees.

It's bark in swedish to! In english I thought it only means that thing dogs do
So that leaves these four:
DMAJES from purple Campus 80s
GRNTIN could be some sort of green. There's green details on the Matchplay Tournament edition where the code's from.
SIMPLE is from the Stan Smith Crafts pack
WONGLO from sunshine Yellow Campus 80s

Wonglo is Wonder Glow Yellow, i think. Many stores and sneaker blogs have listed it as such anyway.
I'd guess Dmajes would be something like Deep Majestic Purple, the colour is pretty close to the purple ink used for many fountain pens.

I think:
DMAJES = Deep Majestic?
GRNTIN = Green Tint?
WONGLO is definitely Wonderglow.
