You could loop the paracord inside two pieces of leather belting of any color and stich the pieces together into a belt. If the day of emergency use came to be, you simpliy separate one side of the stiching, unravel the paracord and you still have a functional belt.

What are the advantages of paracord over normal nylon cord? The working strength seems to be similar, 26 lbs. for paracord, 28 lbs for nylon of the same diameter. If the working strengths are similar, the break strengths are probably very close.
