    color of the port

    Serious question, has no one developed a standard to color code USB-C cables? Even if it’s not something we can get manufactures to implement, I think I’ll try to come up with something.

      It’s not a bad idea. There are a limited number of colors you can adequately use due to color blindness. And a lot of different spec options, but I think you could certainly do better than what we have now.

      coloring or otherwise marking the string relief on the cable would be truly useful.

      Coloring the ports themselves would be problematic as the blade is wafer thin and needs to be ultimately durable.
