This sounds like a good idea.  I have used some of the coloured tape, but, 
would like to obtain some that stays stuck for awhile longer.  I used two 
colours, and wrote on the tape as well, to remind me later what the code 
was.  (I wouldd never be able to remember the place I put the code so I 
would not lose it.)
