Extreme length run. What coax?

That's a whole lot of wiring for one receiver. It sure is pretty though.

Is there any method to the different colors of RG6?

black and white are usually standard and orange is usually flooded underground.

black and white are usually standard and orange is usually flooded underground.

But someone could do what they want within those colors. ex: White on incoming from dish, black going out to receivers, blue to jumper between them, etc. I just didn't see a reason why some in the picture were white and some black.

no I bought two partial spools of 1694, one was black, one was white. The red and the blue is Beldens 4.5ghz RG59 "1505", and color coded for fun.

I know, a lot of wire for 1 drop, but that was "then", now there are 2! drops and some other cables for feeding the rcvr channel 3 outs into other rooms. Also, I've moved my receiver since then, so that paid off also. Also added a third satellite. The point is, all these changes take about a minute now to do. (If I didnt cut my cables precise to length...)

I love the 1694. I will replace my longest outdoor run (cheap steel cable) with it this Summer and call it good.
