Suggestion re: sized diapers/multiple kids

So, we use prefolds and sized covers (Bummis). My son started in the NB size, went to Small and now wears Mediums. I doubt he'll ever need Large because he has small hips. The new baby has already grown out of the NB and is wearing Smalls. In the drawer/laundry basket etc the sizes look similar and I find myself having to pick the cover up and look at it to see which child it fits. I also can't see at a glance if I'm low on one size or another.

In retrospect I wish we'd bought all the same color in each size. There are only 4 colors and we got a mix at the time. However, if I'd gotten all the same color I could have still had a variety over time and wouldn't have this problem. This didn't even occur to me until I had the 2nd so I thought I'd bring it up so that others can plan ahead.
