Folks,
Part of the blame for color confusion lies with the part manufacturer.
I have many older resistors in my junkbox and the color bands are bright
and clear - these older color bands are saturated colors and easy to
read at a glance under most any lighting condition, so I know it is not
my eyes getting dim!!!.
Long ago I shifted to using color codes for sorting only.
Before installing any resistor (and most caps and inductors) I measure
the value.
Yes, it adds to my building time but saves me lots of
rework/troubleshooting time.
