For the hot conductors, you could buy red (and blue and mauve and ...)
wire. Unfortunately, for the neutral conductors, you have to use
something that is mostly white. In principle, white wire with a
colored stripe exists, but I've never seen it for sale (other than in
industrial quantities).


Theres no reason to identify the neutral conductors, these all attach to
the
same bussbar in the breaker panel anyways.

In theory, correct. In practice, it is just too easy to make
mistakes. A mistake that is easy to avoid would be to use a 14-gauge
neutral conductor (for a lighting circuit with a 15A breaker) for the
20A outlet circuit (which needs 12 gauge). Another mistake is if you
have several circuits in the same conduit and you scramble the
neutrals, so in the end most of the outlets from several circuits use
just one neutral wire (which is overloaded now), while the other
neutral wires are heavily underutilized. If you have multiple white
conductors of the same gauge in a box, this can happen easily.


IIRC, the OP mentioned he would only be running 2 outlets, with one or
perhaps two neutrals.
