"Winter Rules" around here mean that I have to paint either the belly button or the other thing blue, in order to tell them apart during the cold season. I would think that blue paint, during the cold season, would be redundant. There "are" viable alternatives, besides the yellow paint you suggested.

3. Sniff test.
4. Taste test.
