3. If I have several layers of the same thing (e.g. vocal parts) I will sometimes colour code them so based on parts, so if my vocals are purple, the lowest vocal part gets the darkest shade of purple and the highest part gets the lightest shade.
But the bottom line is that you are the one who has to understand the system, so make a system that makes sense to you.

Indeed^^^, and one more detail; I almost never call up a new track form the standard choices and have track presets for most everything, with color, plugins, headphone sends and aux sends in place
