THESE ARE THE MAIN TOOLS I USE FOR COLOR CODING:
COLOR-CODED PENS
Pens are quick, convenient and come in lots of colors – perfect for color coding. My favorite color-coding pen brands are the Papermate Inkjoy Gel pens (these are some of the most expensive pens I’ve purchased but oh so worth it). A cheaper alternative are the pens I got from Daiso (shown in the picture above) which were only $2.80.
If you’re just getting started with color-coding you may want to start with the Frixion erasable pens. The medium size (0.7mm tip) if my favorite but doesn’t come in a lot of colors. You can purchase them individually at Big W and Target for around $3 – $4. The 0.38mm version of the Frixion pens do come in a lot of colors, but I haven’t been able to find them in any office supplies stores in Australia – only online reailers and eBay which have really expensive shipping to Australia
The Frixion brand also have erasable highlighters.

HIGHLIGHTERS
If you want to save money and time and just use black pens in your planner, then highlighters are a good alternative. Either highlight the entire text, or draw a circle or a square checkbox beside to add the color-coding.
The retractable highlights shown in the image were a random find at Woolworths for $3
