They are just plain old springs, the color codes are used to match them
in pairs.  (He said pontifically, not *really* knowing what he was
talking about...)

Those are Spring colors, by the way, and pretty much out of date.  You
might be able to get away with skipping Summer, but soon you'll need the
brown/red and orange ones for Autumn.
