If the cables say "black", "blue", "red" on them, and they are black, do they need to be identified with tape :-?

possibly..see 210.5 XXXX
edited...I may be the "stupid"... if the black cable is marked red, or blue then, IMHO, it meets the requirement as tagged ansd would no need tape.

Why would the cables say black, blue or red instead of just being color coded in that fashion? Is this method approved?

I'll bet there are no black conductors marked white, green or bare.

The ungrounded conductors could also be identified by numbers or letters.

The requirements are stricter for grounded and grounding conductors.
