Hi Philo,
I did exactly what you did when putting on a set of D'Addario EJ16 strings some time ago and mixed up the G and D strings, thinking I could see the difference without following the color code on the package. I had been doing this for years, but one time I made a mistake. Trying to get the D string tuned up to the G note resulted in my breaking the string as I pushed it too far while tuning it. I felt really stupid, but I learned a lesson. The break was so loud! Like being next to a magnum .22 bullet going off.
