As for the color coding goes the 3 wires currently that are the same are the white wires. on both ends of the wires are small colored zip ties. ex(PCM has a blue zip tie on both ends and the VRM has green zip ties)
You will still have to route the wires so they do not impede the motion of the upper board. Often it takes the form of a loop.

You may want to get a label maker such as the one linked below. The wiring then becomes self documenting. They have a deal where you buy a bunch of labels and get the machine "for free". We are now using a similar machine for the equipment we build at work.
