I wish that fewer computer accessories had black leads. I'm often confused by the tangle on my desk.
Take the seven colours Newton saw in the rainbow, add black, brown and grey, and we get ten - I have a special job for white.
Leads connecting something to the computer could be in one of the ten colours, and the power lead for each device could use alternate stripes of the device's colour and white.
Useful categories could include the computer itself, the monitor, the mouse, the keyboard, the cable modem and network cables, external memory devices (including USB hubs), loudspeakers, microphones, printers and scanners are often combined and could share a colour, and that leaves one colour spare for other things. If desperate we could add pink as an eleventh colour.
It is too much to hope for such order, but it would help if manufacturers would just choose a colour at random from a large palette for each type of device they make.

I find that if one resists the urge to dust or hoover around the leads, they all gradually acquire an attractive, fluffy grey coating. All wires look the same in the dust.
