Have you had actual problems with the 49p cables?

Yes, they're ugly and straggly and they're always breaking.

I've never known one break (ok, I'm talking about free ones, not 49p
ones) and as for ugly - I can't actually see them round the back of
the equipment.

If I couldn't see them, I wouldn't be troubled about the colour!

If you want to hide light but unsightly cabling 'spiral cable wrap' might be
a quick and easy way to do it, if you can get it in a colour you want -
Google same for a ton of possibilites.

I can sort of understand not wanting cables showing if this is a
domestic setup. But if they MUST show, why on earth does the colour
matter? Haven't you got a drawer full of the ones provided with
everything you ever bought? That sort of neutral gray colour is
inoffensive enough, surely?

Phono cables and connectors ain't designed to be flexed and or
plugged/unplugged regularly. For that sort of thing you need a proper
system like XLRs, etc.
