How do kids belt ranks work in BJJ?

Kids have their own belt system with more colors than adults - typically white, grey, yellow, orange, and green, each with variations. This provides more frequent promotions to keep kids motivated. At 16, kids transition to the adult belt system, usually starting at the belt their skill level warrants.
