A little bit of the rainbow might spice up your life, Randy. Staring at all that grey cat3 is making you cranky. 

Personally, I like orange for console, standard powder blue for in rack termination, and red for backbone dependent.

all you people are just sooooo retro and boring.  i like purple,
fluorescent lime, ...

the colors make no difference as long as you are consistent.  labeling,
consistent port use (oob port == power port == switch port ==) are what
will bail you out at three in the morning.
