It is worth mentioning that the female retina is generally more richly
endowed with rods and cones than the male retina. In fact, a small
percentage of women actually experience four primary colors.
In other words, for the male constructor it is always good practice to get
the female in your life to check the colors.

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.
Many males, including myself, have a small degree of red-green color
blindness. This manifests itself by seeing a red resistor band as brown,
for example. Poor lighting exacerbates this, and I have taken parts
outdoors to sort them. One of my daughters used to serve as my designated
color reader when she was only 2-1/2 years old! It gave her a great
feeling of importance to be able to do something critical better than her dad.
