I do a lot of front end development for agencies, but also a good amount for my own projects. I only present mockups to clients, so we are all on the same page.
What I do with the PSDs for my own projects is use Layer Properties to name the color (and if applicable, the font, weight, and pt size). That way, when I go to do the build, I can glance at the layer and get that information quickly.
Many PSD designers group layers, but don't put extra effort into naming layers. Little things like that make a huge difference in time.
