After having built a K2, KX1 and numerous other homebrew gear, I have noted by my own observations and comments of others some confusion as to exactly what colors are being observed on small parts, usually resistors and RF chokes. Having been in the printing business for some years, I can say that color perception is often skewed by the light used for viewing. Incandescent lighting seems to be the least accurate for determining the correct colors, particularly yellows, oranges, and browns. Many times I have used sunlight (if available) or sought out a fluorescent lamp (cool white with at least 5200K temperature) to properly interpret colors. When in doubt, I use a meter to confirm the value.
