I used the rainbow (visible light) spectrum and colored by length. So
violet = short wavelength = 1 foot, blue = 2 foot, green = 3 foot,
yellow = 4 foot, red = long wavelength = 6 foot. Most of my cables
are the 2' and 3' length (blue and green), the second group (by
number) is the 1' and 4' length, and a limited number are the 6' length.
For any particular length of cable (say, the 3' length) I did half the
cables with white heatshrink (black print) and half the cables with
black heatshrink (white print). (Like the keys of a piano I guess.)
I guess this could be use to distinguish between CV and audio signals
but I don't really do this. I just thought it would be cool to have
the half white half black on colored cables.
