I'm colorblind and can't read color codes so every resistor

I've sort of given up on resistor color codes myself. The colors just
aren't as bright as they used to be; they have more bands, and it's
hard
to tell which is the first band and which is the last. So I use one of
those
little Chinese component testers with a ZIF socket.

It also works great for transistors, diodes & capacitors
