They interest me and some codes are quite easy to figure out, but there are some that are a bit more cryptic. At least for me read2

Anyone here now how to spell out these abbreviations?
()=my and others guesses help

AERRED = Aerosol Red
BARK
COLRED = Collegiate Red
COLROY = Collegiate Royal Blue
DMAJES = Deep Majestic Purple (?)
ECHWHT = Echo White
GRNTIN
LEGINK = Legend Ink
LGTSCA = Light Scarlett Red
METGOL = Metallic Gold
METSIL = Metallic Silver
MLEAD = Medium Lead
MUSBRO = Mustang Brown
REARED = Real Red
RUNWHT = Running White
SIMPLE
SUPCOL = Supplier Colour
TRUBLU= True Blue
UNIRED = University Red
WHTVAP = White Vapour
WONGLO = Wonder Glow Yellow

Edit: Corrected guesses
Edit again: More correction

I think METGOL and METSIL are Metallic gold and silver (but could be wrong...LOL...)

I'm pretty sure UNIRED is University Red and COLROY and COLRED is College Royal (blue) and College Red.

AERRED is Aerosol Red (whatever that is).
Superstars are indeed super...

PS I'd say it was more of an internal thing that some wise ass trend spotter got paid loads for to baffle the pants out of everyone. I could be wrong though.

Medium Lead
Mustang Brown
Legend Ink
Supplier Colour

Col is actually collegiate but prob means the same thing though

*edit - all your guesses are correct Smile*

Supplier colour, huh? It's on quite a few pairs. Also seen VNTG SUPCOL listed for one pair.
Bark is probably just bark, a shade of brown referring to bark of trees.

It's bark in swedish to! In english I thought it only means that thing dogs do Laughing

So that leaves these four:
DMAJES from purple Campus 80s
GRNTIN could be some sort of green. There's green details on the Matchplay Tournament edition where the code's from.
SIMPLE is from the Stan Smith Crafts pack
WONGLO from sunshine Yellow Campus 80s

Wonglo is Wonder Glow Yellow, i think. Many stores and sneaker blogs have listed it as such anyway.

I'd guess Dmajes would be something like Deep Majestic Purple, the colour is pretty close to the purple ink used for many fountain pens.

I think:

DMAJES = Deep Majestic?
GRNTIN = Green Tint?
WONGLO is definitely Wonderglow.
