Those are examples of shitty C coding... if I wanted something akin to what he wrote I'd do this

#define ENTRY(name, val) { (1<<val), #name },

then do

struct {
    unsigned long val;
    const char *name;
 } entries[] = {
   ENTRY(0, yellow)
   ENTRY(1, blue)
   ...
 };

Haha... He's unlucky if this compiles (and it can).
