Thanks to all for the excellent variety of suggestions. I was not sure if
code makes paper labeling illegal, even if the real hazard does not exist.
As an electrical engineer, I am occasionally amazed at how bizarre some of
the electrical code rules are, and thought that paper labeling inside a box
was perhaps prohibited.

I like the Romex and Sharpie approach as well as vinyl labels. I'm going to
try both and see which one works better for one of my 8 wires, and then do
the rest using the better looking method.

Thanks for all the excellent help
!

Why? So you think it's going to burst into flames?
Did you ever notice how romex has the bare wire wrapped in brown
paper? Guess what, that is in your breaker box.....
