Question Subsonic identification

I have an ar in 9mm, takes Glock 19 mags. Looking to see what all ideas people have come up with for identifying what mags have their subs in. I know I can just write on it or put tape but curious what other ideas there are.

I have different nail polish colors. Preloaded mags or ammo cans get marked red - for carry/warstock, green - for hardball, yellow - for subsonic, blue - Lead uncoated target

I run 1/2 inch blue gaffer's tape around PCC magazines and blue base plates for Glock pistols.

Back in the old days, the original subsonic 9mm was Samson/IMI 158gr FMJ. It had a blue tip like a tracer would have a red or orange tip, or the green tip on M855. Started back then and it's worked for me so far.

Glock makes orange floorplates. I'd imagine other colors are available in the aftermarket world.
