Subject: Cable color scheme advice?

Hi all, I'm about to order a bunch of cables from Larry, but
now I have to face the truth: what colors do I get? I have
no experience with this, except for the cable colors used
on the NordMod. So I hope some of you can help me with a
good color scheme, although I know its very personal.
At the moment I can think of two possible ways to go:
1. Get red and blue cables with red and blue heatshrink, and
use these for audio and control signals, respectively.
Problem here is that when you run out of one color you have
to use the other, wrong color.
2. Get black cables with black heatshrink on the inside of
the barrel. At home, add color coded heatshrink on the
outside of the connector for audio, control, etc. If I
regularly run out of a certain color, I can change the
heatshrink. Problem is that you only see black cables with
this scheme. Don't know if that's a problem, but I imagine
it is.
A third option would be to get a zillion cables, heh. ;) No
such luck, sorry Larry.
Any suggestion is welcome.
