Label tubing for particular uses?

I recently had to repurpose the tube I normally use to run off wort from my kettle into the fermentor as a blowoff tube instead. I'm planning on getting a new tube to use for running off the wort in the future, because it doesn't seem like a good idea to run chilled wort through even a thoroughly cleaned blowoff tube.

How can I label these tubes of similar diameter and length so I can keep using them for the same purpose from batch to batch? Solutions that will survive sanitizing and cleaning are strongly preferred.

Could you not just use different lengths? Shorter (or slightly shorter) tube for blow off or run off as required?

Alternatively, get silicone tube that you can boil, and standardize all your fittings to that tube. I use the same two pieces of tube for wort recirculation, chilled wort drain and blow-off; no cross-infection even with Brett/Lacto so far.

You could use electrical tape, it comes in different colors and it would resist washing. The color would be your code to designate its purpose and length.

I have no other ideas for now, anyone else?
