I think they are as follows (from softest to hardest)
6542 Blue
6543 Silver
6544 Gold
6545 White
6546 Yellow
6547 Red
6548 Pink

Pink is after silver, but the others look right.

Blue
Silver
Pink
Gold
Those are all I've ever used, so I dont know the order of the others, but I assume they will all be harder than golds.

The revised order is correct and for info purposes this is what the quoted spring rates are in lb/in:
blue = 15.3
silver = 16.9
pink = 18.0
gold = 19.0
white = 20.3
yellow = 21.7
red = 22.4
Two things to notice. first that the steps from one rate to another aren't linear. Secondly the steps are quite small. For instance with XRay springs, the steps between the differing rates (including the intermediate sets) is about 2.5 lb/in.
