I don't have the long snake, just the short tube under the lid.
My daily driver is an old Jaguar and even though it is a British engineered car they had the presence of mind to add a 4" WHITE plastic tip to the trans dipstick which makes the contrast of light pink fluid easy to see.
So, as painting the grease laden metal dipstick doesn't sound too successful I have decided to re-engineer the goddamn thing.
Today's project will be shrink wrapping the dipstick end with white plastic shrinky-dink tubing. We'll see how that does. It certainly can't be any worse.
