This is something I was in a starbucks (Am i allowed to say that word in here) recently and a quick google search throws up a clearer image of it, I hope its helpful for someone (like me) who is trying to learn more about coffee and its varieties: Seems to be a very concise diagram:

Cool idea! Gives a good general indication even if it is only Starbucks coffees.

It's grand, assuming you equate 'fuller flavour' with 'fuller roast flavour'.
There's plenty of flavour in lighter roasts too, just not of burnt stuff (and I'm not opposed to a 'fuller roast flavour', but there's undoubtedly more variety of flavour in lighter roasts - some of it very 'full').

Green beans are admittedly a bit lacking in the flavour department though.
