Next question. The dock lines on the boat are worn. If I have four pilings on each side 18' or 20' apart, what is a good complement of line sizes to have? Does the color of the line make any
practical difference to anyone? Maybe I should color code them by length?

You may be over thinking this. Color lines are more expensive than the basic gold braid.
I carry six lines for transient use, plus a few more spares. 4 x 25', 2 x 35' all 5/8 inch braided. Mine are blue.
It makes sense to have one 50' 5/8" in case you need it. My 6 dock lines that stay put are about the same.
Those may perhaps be a bit shorter as you pretty much get them situated and that's it.
i use three strand at my home dock and they are adjusted and stay there so when i come in all i have to do is hook the eye over the cleat. that way i know it's right no matter who helps tie up. i have about 12 5/8 double braid in various lengths for transient dockage
