We feel your pain - there's enough options that everybody can do it
differently. 

I'm using two color schemes for two different functions. 

First, I'm using pairs of long brightly colored cords to go from each
piece of gear back to a patch bay.  Larry didn't advertise it last
time, but he can make cords longer than 6 feet. They look fantastic,
and it makes it so much easier to figure out the patch bay!

On the MOTM, I use cheapy Radio Shack cables for control signals.
They've got these 1' long ones with L-shaped connectors that work
great. They actually will span about a foot, while the MOTM 1' calbes
only go about 7-8". 

I use bright magenta/red MOTM cables for the audio signals. The
difference between the cables makes it a lot easier to trace patches
quickly.

Let us know what you decide on - I bet it will be unique!
