Here's how to remember the terrorist threat colors. 5, 3, and 1 form the backbone of the system -- those are the colors of a traffic light. 4, orange, is between red and yellow. 2 is blue -- chromatically, green should be in between yellow and blue. I guess you can just figure that a blue belongs in there somewhere, and 2 is your remaining slot.
I agree that the numbers would be easier. But, while this is open to debate, I do think the colors are easier than the names -- "high", "elevated", "neurotic", and whatever else they've got.
