My grand mother used to identify pills to take with the color.
Something like Take RED ones in afternoon, Take the capsule in evening. Would be a pain for her if each one has a different color.
- thaumasiotes 4y agoIt's common to have compartments that organize your pill schedule, usually with 14 labeled cells - morning and evening for each day of the week. Set it up once a week and then just take the pills in the appropriate cell when the time is right. This also solves the problem of "did I already take my pills for today?".

- lupire 4y agoThey aren't different colors. They have are a standard color with a standard sprinkle, but the details of the sprinkle are unique, like a (real) fingerprint.
