Not sure what forum to put this in, but.... I've wondered why audio gear has black outlets when they may be used in low light conditions. Why not white or cream colored outlets so that you can easily see the openings you need to insert the plugs into?
(The photo below shows the scene much brighter than it truly is inside the case). This is the back of a Furman power conditioner above the back of a MOTU 8-Pre audio interface in a 4-U touring case. I use this for recording drums and guitars. When I need to plug in my laptop to record, it is dark inside there. You can't see where the openings in the outlets are. So, the solution below is to color the needed outlet with a silver Sharpie. Bam!.... no problem seeing it now.
