Create a Small Color Language
Choose a few repeatable meanings: red for stop or danger, blue for water, yellow for moving parts, and another color for player controls. Consistency is more useful than painting every surface.
- Label both ends of long pipe or logic routes.
- Use high contrast around moving gaps.
- Record sensor colors before repainting a machine.
