Sounds weirder than it is, LOL, it's not a sexual thing! I color-code to the point of idiocy sometimes. I have different colors of paper (and cardstock and folders and paper/binder clips) that I use depending on mood and function. I USE the multi-color flags in Outlook (not always, and I can't always remember what I used them for -- part of my ditziness I suppose is that I can't decide ultimately what I really want to use them for, so I don't write down why I used such and such a flag, so sometimes I have to use guesswork and tweak to get all like things together despite color-coding).
In pre-computer days, I would be the person with a million 3x5 cards cross-referencing everything I know and/or have. The TOME uses different color fonts to represent different sources, and sometimes different types of material.
I think part of it is that I see my job in life as being something as a weaver -- taking various disparate bits of stuff and melding them together into some kind of harmonious whole which still retains the flavor of the parts. And to do that, I suppose, I use color to represent the nature of the item? It's a little beyond me, but on some subconscious level, it helps me to work life out. (Either that or I'm just nuts, LOL!)
