Hmmm. E100__ comes in semi transparent containers.
What Kodak film are you using?

I often can't see the sides of the film canisters when I pick one.
Isn't it hard to see your colored paper?
Instead, I usually mark an "X" (for "Exposed") on the top of any canisters
with exposed film.

It helps to transfer all exposed rolls to a separate container each evening.
