cablestogo.  Thanks for the info.

  If you want it to look pretty, use the same color for each
rack/switch.  Otherwise that's more confusing than helpful.

  Categorizing by VLAN or type of traffic makes some sense.  E.g.,
yellow is DMZ, blue is main LAN, green is SAN, etc.

  Using a rainbow spread to each rack makes some sense.  Makes it
easier to tell cables apart when you're hunting for or tracing a
particular cable.

  There are some standards for cable sheath color coding, but the ones
I'm aware of are all facility-wide in scope.  Most of your
in-datacenter cabling would be the same color under such schemes.  So
I wouldn't call those helpful for this.
