Color representing length? I got into this same argument with someone else. 
Color for length just gives you a messy rainbow jumble of cables in a patch. 
Color for signal type can be more useful. I use red for audio and blue for 
control. I suppose if I wanted I could also use yellow for 
gates/triggers/clocks. This better allows one to look at a patched up synth and 
see what's going on. I can trace the audio signal for instance by just looking 
at the red cables.
