Many studios used paper leader tape years ago because there was no solid white leader available at the time, and they did not want to take the risk of their recordings being ruined by coated leader tapes. If you want to colour code your leader, it's simple: Draw an arrow at the beginning of your leader to indicate which way is the feed or play direction using coloured sharpies. Use a red arrow at the beginning of the leader, showing the head end or beginning of the tape. Use a blue Sharpie at the end to show the tail end of the tape. Make sure the ink is dried before spooling your tape!
