The number of belts varies from school to school and style to style. They are usually divided into two categories, those before blackbelt and those after. In karate there are 10 ranks of blackbelt. The kyu levels vary from four to 12 or even 15.
White, yellow, orange, green, blue, brown, black. In black they than divide the levels by degree like if your first degree black belt you would be lower than a second degree black belt. At least that's how they do it in my dojo. They may also have strips from each belt color. A yellow belt with 2 strips would be higher than a yellow belt with 1 strip.
