COLOR CODING - Is it you?

I absolutely could not get along without color coding.  I always want life to be simpler than it is:

For instance:  RED

Red is for health, in my world. I luckily have some red hanging folders. Inside are some files whose tabs say Dental or Spine or whatever on red or plain vanilla files.  

And transparent red is for super urgent, like some health info for the doctor today, or anything urgent.  

And the ever popular Green is for money and related stuff like taxes.

Since I write, blue is for writing and sometimes some great writing by someone else. 

Being a female, Purple or Violet is for fashion, wardrobe, and the shoes that fit my feet correctly, should I ever find such shoes

COMBINATIONS?  I thought you'd never ask!  

Sometimes a money thing becomes urgent, like at tax time.  So the green folder needs a red extra-sticky Post-it.   

Not excited about files?  Well another place for color coding is KID STUFF.  If they can't read, and you can't draw an undershirt,  you can tell him the undies go in the BLUE drawer.  Or announce that PINK is only for the sister's stuff.  

Let us know if you have your own color coding standbys.  I'd be glad to quote you here!
