    The blue background on metal film resistors makes it really hard for me to read them. I wish they would have stuck with tan and found another way to indicate the type.

      Yeah and a lot are just 5%'s that got selectively matched from larger batches. I’ve had some that have the blue/grey overcoat come off and that is even more problematic to keep up with.
