I just ordered cables of two different lengths with all different colors. (I matched the heatshrink color with the cable color though.) Using the color to code the length of the cable is I guess the most smart thing to do. When you need a cable of a given length you immediately think 'blue, I need a blue one', look at that messy pile of cables on the floor and pick it out. But on my (still) small modular this would mean that almost all cables would have the same color, which is: a) plain boring! ;) b) not easy when debugging a patch. So I went for the what-the-heck rainbow approach, and enjoy it. :) - Robert
