[Harp-L] Color coding keys

[Michael Snowden]

Yes - Great for use in non stage contexts - and for instance music therapy, there are some pretty standard colours.
Eg: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Rainbow-Combi-bells-coloured-bells-Starland/dp/B018FB7116/
I used turbo covers, and since there were lots of colours, but wasn't a full range of colours, I used the most obvious/my favourites for my most commonly used keys. 

If you are mostly using them under stage lights , you may want to think about what happens under colour spots -will you still be able to see the colours?
