I have actually done this for a showroom display, and it does give dimension depth and character to an ordinary storage cube arrangement.
There are lots of ways to explore space, and making it work. with this type of storage solution, you can think of doing multiple lines of colors, either vertical or horizontal. you can add create the illusion of an asymmetrical design in a symmetrical space by how staggering colors. You can achieve strong focal points by only painting (or not painting) certain cubes.
I love cube storage- millions of possibilities.
