I always had a hard time with this one, so I came up with my own related to experience.

First there is snow(white), then mud season (brown), and the grass comes out (green obviously).

As for the left side, I try to remember that financially that it is always better to be in the black, than in the red (financially).

That is how I remember it anway.
