There are three mon (as stripes) per belt except white. The order is:
White
Red
Yellow
Orange
Green
Blue
Brown
Black.
Note. These are the over 8 grades. After Black there are more grades but your belt stays the same colour.
Judo
BJA Junior, each belt is divided into three MON grades, 18th MON being the highest: Novice=white, 1-3=red, 4-6=yellow, 7-9=orange, 10-12=green, 13-15=blue, 16-18=brown. There are 9 senior KYU grades ,9th KYU being the lowest: 9=yellow, 8-7=orange, 6-5=green, 4-3=blue, 2-1=brown. DAN grades wear Black to 4th Dan then Red and white blocks from fifth Dan.
Like most Martial Arts, you begin as a white belt. After that it can depend on the style or even the school as to how they promote students.

It's the black dan...black belt.
Actually, the highest ever awarded is a double width white belt ( 12th dan), which has only been given to Jigoro Kano , who founded judo. There are very few 10th dans and most westerners would be lucky to get to 6th dan.
The belt system is relatively new (within the past 100 years) relative to Martial Arts in general. As such, and as systems have evolved to include Western students (also relatively new, post WWII), despite what Hollywood would have everyone think, so have the belt ranking colors they employ. Ranking/belt systems and colors are selected by the governing Master(s) or Federation of a particular style, or in the case of many "independent Dojos", the head instructor.
Not all styles of Karate maintain the same belt colors, but here is an example, with the order from lowest to highest:
The belt below Brown is typically a different color in many styles - it can be even be a different color Brown. (Note that in some traditional Okinawan styles a red belt is reserved for the very highest ranks, 9th and 10th degree black belts.)
There are also intermediate belts between the colors - many styles denote this with a stripe on the belt to denote the student is in-between the major belt colors. For example, a student between White and Yellow might have a White belt with a Yellow stripe, between Yellow and Green a Yellow belt with a Green stripe, etc.
Other colors often used are Orange and Purple.
However a style orders its belts and whatever colors are used, there are usually 9 or 10 underbelt levels that must be completed prior to achieving Shodan, or 1st level Black (1st Dan). One thing that's important to understand is that the number of belts you might need to earn has less to do with Karate than the business of running a Dojo- the more belts and tests, the more income the Dojo can bring in. No real dojo will let any student test for any belt level unless that student is ready, and the instructors are confident that the student will pass.
For ranks/belts past Shodan, again, each style has its own system of differentiating between Blackbelt ranks, but in my experience, you typically see belt hash marks (for example, as a 1st Dan, I have 1 hash mark on my belt, a 2nd Dan would have 2, etc.). Once you get to 5th Dan (Master), there's often a color indication to denote the higher rank status.
There is no typical color grading in karate, nor any martial arts. It depends on the dojo itself, on the federation the current dojo is in or the like. What is typical though is that whilst a kid you start at 10th mon going down towards 1st mon. After this you go from 10th kyu to 1st kyu (kyu grades are for none blackbelt "adults"), After this you progress in dan grades from 1st to 10th.
It depends upon the school and style of karate that you are studying. Most places go to yellow. My school goes to orange. We start with white and get orange stripes and then go to orange and go to yellow stripes and then to yellow.
Also some place go 1st degree white belt then 2nd then 3rd
the order is white yellow green purple brown black
also it depends on the type of karate. takewondo is white, orange, yellow, camo, green, purple, blue, brown, brown, red , red , black-red, and then black.
The order of judo belts are as follows:
White
Blue
Green
Brown
Brown
Brown
Black (1st-6th degree)
Red and white (7th and 8th degree)
Red (9th and 10th degree)
white
yellow
orange
green
blue
brown
black
there are three degrees of black and three degrees of brown
white, gray, yellow, orange, green, blue, purple, black( in that order)
there are 25 belts in total

They show ascending levels of proficiency.

No, unless you haven't made it to the top of your mon. If you have you stay at that belt. If you dont you go down 1 belt.
Kyu(brow belt and belwo) or dan (for black belts). Each has a different number depending on their grade. For example, brown belt is 1st Kyu, white belt is 6th.
Originally there were no colored belts. That system is relatively new, less than 100 years. The karate-ka borrowed the system of Judo, which was light blue, white, brown, black, red and white and red. Each school, style and organization have developed their own systems and they vary a great deal.
The belts and uniforms were adapted from those used in judo. Karate wanted to become a part of the Buddokan. Do do so, they needed to provide some more structure to the teaching methods, so they adopted the ranking.
