Once upon a time, plenum-rated cable only seemed to come in white or blue, so I tried to use white consistently. Always helps to visually identify the correct usage for POPs in existing buildings. And, I've a tendency to use black for "internal network management" (unable to be seen off LAN/VPN). Easy to tell staff "don't touch", and to visually ensure going to the correct switch ports. Yellow was pretty common for crossover cables, but now-a-days it's all auto-sensing anyway.
