The nipples are arranged in rainbow order. My own approach—
I've found there's a specific arrangement where the gradient looks most beautiful
when the spinning rim is lit by sunlight or artificial light,
and I've named this my "VAS arrangement" (vas arrangement) on my own,
but of course which colors go where and how many of each
depends on the number of nipples (rim holes).
For 20, 22, 24, and 28H cases,
I've got this completely dialed in.

For 22H though, it's limited to Campagnolo's Proton or
the front rims of Nucleon/Neutron models that I've deliberately converted
from internal nipple spec to universal nipple spec.
