I was adding some some lights and an outlet in one of our bathrooms today, and am absolutely fed up with the whatever random color wire was on hand wiring that runs through the entire house. Live and neutral same color, wires changing colors at junctions. PIA.
Anyway so I decided since I have everything pulled apart at the moment, I'll replace the short easy to get to runs with correctly colored wires.
What I'm wondering is if there is any practical (i.e. not related to code) reason why I should try to match the color of the hot wire to the particular phase it belongs to. The lighting and outlets in the house are distributed across the different phases in the breaker box. I'm guessing if anyone ever really needs to know it's not that hard to go check which color goes into the the breaker.

Any practical reason to match hot wire colors in single phase circuits?
