It looks like the birth year people are wrapping around to the first few columns of the 20xx row as well, though it's not labeled.

Mine is medium/dark orange. It is a modification of a 5-letter word spelled out on the phone.

Reverse engineer that, bitches.

Also deep orange, based on a randomly assigned PIN I had once decades ago.

I am must curious about the occasional black ones. The easiest one to discern seems to be maybe 6807, is that somehow less easy to remember than 6806?

Haha, I do the same approach, and when I'm confronted with a keypad with the letters I sometimes have to pull out my phone to see what the numbers are if I can't do it by feel that day.

My groups' lunchtime discussion brought up eating bear meat. This triggered a memory about a business local to me while growing up. It was called Czimer's Game and Seafood, but I think during my childhood it was called Czimer's Wild Game, and they specialized in wild or unusual meats. They had a ranch near to our house where you'd often see unusual animals roaming the fields.

I never went there, because my parents were rather disgusted by the store (and possibly the people who owned it). Morbid curiosity wasn't enough of a motivator to seek it out on my own when I was old enough. I'm not surprised at all to learn the business did a lot of illegal animal trafficking as well:
