I love Testors paint, but when there stored in my tool cabinet, it's impossible to see what colours are where, so I spent a little time putting a small blob of paint on each lid, problem solved....

I've been doing that for 20 or 30 years. 

If I'm airbrushing the color, I'll airbrush the whole top of the cap the color.

Just did the same thing except I used a round white sticker label on the lid first. Some of the darker colors kinda disappear against the black lid. Also added the paint ID number as well.

Not just for Testors - I've been doing something like that for years. cabinet3.jpg.2e593ae7b8b58d879c6382673b57a709.jpgcabinet2.jpg.ab0b3afe0fdf4a592befff4cd6c27ca0.jpg

Of course with Humbrol or Tamiya there is no need to do that.

Pactra used to also show the paints color and its name on the caps.

I use color dot stickers as well - yellow for acrylics, blue for enamels. White or orange for metallizers and detail washes. Since a majority of them are military colors, I label each dot the color name along with the FS number (Federal Standard number).
