I just happen to be doing the W1 power meter kit and went through the parts inventory the other night. The 1 percent resistors had a dark turquoise blue body and this radically changed the colors perceived for the color coding. Indeed, the same color, Orange, appeared orange on one of the resistors but almost Tan on another resistor both with the same blue body.
