Occasionally, it happens that I recognise the stripe of colour at the left side of an entry on my Friends page and think it's [livejournal.com profile] foo, but it's actually [livejournal.com profile] bar.

I obviously have too few colours, or too many friends.

Fortunately, people with similar colours are usually (but not always) fairly different, so reading a little bit often helps to keep them apart even without looking at the username.

I have the same background color for everyone, but that's because my other styles all made the background color more noticable, and I didn't like the way it looked.

Now I use colors for groups... Support/Support Communities; Real Life; University; Random People/Communities; Styles Communities; LJ Communities; and Tutorials. Since you've now had more info that you really wanted to know, suffice it to say, that I tried friends colors and it drove me batty back when I had 10 friends.
