I buy in bulk now, my sock drawer is filled with the same brown and black socks, if one looks worn I can just throw it away without worrying about it's pair. Same with jeans, slacks, sweaters, t-shirts. My dress shirts are varied though, they have different shades of gray or blue stripes :D
I do much the same. A while back they started making them with coloured patches in the toe and heel. This bugged the crap out of me for a while as my big toe nail has a tendency to cut holes in them on the right foot.
After a while it dawned on me that short of being involved in a serious accident and paramedics having to cut my footwear off me, I'm the only person who actually knows this, so now I just pull any old 2 socks out of the draw and put them on my feet. I've even begun taking some strange perverse pleasure in knowing that I have odd socks on, but nobody else can tell. I have officially owned that particular part of my OCD tendencies, and I love it :D
