That may be mildly inappropriate in some circles, but I believe there are much worse.   See the wikipedia link posted above by tsman.

I run with the Black, Brown, Rainbow(ish), Grey, White approach.

I never heard this one before but I think it is OK.

IanMacdonald:
I honestly don't know why they use that horrible five-band code on metal film types. There is no need for it on an E24 series anyway, and as pointed out it leads to ambiguous values on 1% types. I use carbon types for general experimenting. They are noisier and less accurate, but less likely to make a circuit-damaging mistake with.  SMD types are easier if you're going to make a PCB but don't lend themselves to birdsnesting, which is how I usually prove a circuit first.  You can tell I'm an ex TV engineer  ::)

another reason to switch to surface mounted parts :)
