The problem is, it's white and stands out against anything I'm wearing like a neon sign. I would prefer them to be black so I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions on how to paint or color the cables with something that won't just rub off. I've tried a Sharpie and other permanent markers but they rub off.

You'd prolly have to find a dye for rubber/soft plastic, something that's absorbed so that it won't rub off.
