JJI guess a lot changed between 1975 and 1981. In my 1975 US Navy BEE school they gave us the cheat sheet below. This chart pertains to any number of color coded electronics, not only resistors, but also computer cards like those found in the UNIVAC 1219.
Anyone remember the transistor theory BECky VOPINI AZAZA chart? You can draw it in your mind.
0 = BLK > Bad
1 = BRN > Boys
2 = RED > Race
3 = ORN > Our
4 = YEL > Young
5 = GRN > Girls
6 = BLU > Behind
7 = VIO > Victory
8 = GRY > Garden
9 = WHT > Walls
Gold, Silver, and None were pretty obvious, who needs a cheat for that?

I don't think there is a standard. One tries to avoid ambiguous
abbreviations like Bl for blue and black.

The version I learned about 1969 is actually suitable for mixed company
and as a bonus it's closer to the truth:
Better Be Right Or Your Great Big Venture Goes West.

I know several. But the OP wasn't asking about color code, he was asking about color abbreviations. R for Red; G for Green etc.
