I separate my scrap strips by color into gallon size zipper bags which fit nicely onto one shelf side by side in the standing upright position. I don't seal the tops, so after each project, it's quick and easy to pop the scraps into each color appropriate bag. And they look pretty too!
This way if I want to make one color in a block, that is easily done by using just one bag, but if I want scrappy, I can just grab a handful from each bag and mix them up in a pile to pull from.
I only do strips less than 2.5" this way, as anything 2.5" and larger goes into my strip containers; plastic see thru bins that I go to for actual quilt piecing, as opposed to string piecing.
