The time I tried to color code my entire bullet journal

About three years ago, I decided every single task and event needed its own color. I bought a 12-pack of fineliners and spent a whole Sunday setting it up. By Wednesday, I was spending more time hunting for the right pen than actually doing the work. I had to scrap the whole system and go back to a simple black pen. Has anyone else tried and failed with a super complex color system?

My first planner had a five color system for different work projects. It looked amazing but I could never remember which color meant what. The simpler the system, the more you actually use it.

My own eight-color key (inspired by @the_sean) was a beautiful, useless mess by lunchtime.
