At a clearance sale I bought large containers of orange 1/2" staples and
white 3/4" staples. Can I use them on anything they fit, or does code
restrict them to 10 and 14 respectively? I mean, a 1/2" staple is a 1/2"
staple, regardless of color.

First of all, even though there should be a consistent set of rules
everywhere, you should still check your local ordinances. But, were you
planning on having the work inspected? Colored staples sound like a good
idea to me. Easier to see in dimly lit places, in case you need to yank them
out later.

No of course not!

More liberal hogwash.

Every staple has its place in the world, and it's determined by color.
If you don't like this, tell the ACLU.
