Wow. By all means, please add. I'll make sure to check on this post. That's quite a lot to assimilate, so please extend the update courtesy to me and give me some time to formulate follow-up questions. Right now I have mainly a digression regarding the quote:

    You might even want to think about using the different connectors as a way to segregate cable due to your limited colour palette.

While it is something that came to my mind (thanks for the link to the store by the way!), I would just want to say one thing regarding why I'm so often talking about my colour blindness. Perhaps it would also give you some ideas or tips? Maybe you can see some future difficulty that I may face? I don't know.

I don't need to explain to you how hex-codes work or what's the display colour depth, so I'll just cut to the chase: I can see less than 0.11% of red-green mixes, same goes for contrasts. That means that for constant Blue in RGB code, there are only about 200-400 combinations of red and green that I can differentiate. And it's not the case for all values of blue, some can make it even harder despite it being the only pigment that is not impaired. To illustrate: this, this and this are almost exactly the same for me. Second one is slightly darker, first and third are identical. It's a pretty severe case all things considered.
