I opened a package of nylgut strings and found them color coded but no info to match the colors with the string. Should I assume that the order they were in is how I know? Yellow was first and next to a wound (white) string. Thus I assume the white wound string is 'G' and the yellow one the short 'D' (fifth string). Then comes green, black, and red which I assume are 'D', 'F#', and 'A'. Is my assumption correct? Not sure what would happen if they fell out of the package when it was opened.

Hi Al.
On one of my packages ("minstrel set") the legend says:
1st=RED
2nd=BLUE
3rd=GREEN
4th=WHITE
5th=YELLOW (spelt "Jellow" on the package, lolol)
Hope that helps. Lisa
