Huh??? I didn't say that! The assembly instructions will teach anyone who has built an Elecraft rig the color code. The correct colors are in each step right after the value for the resistor, e.g. 4.7k (yel-vio-red). By the time you're done building, you know the color code!
A DMM doesn't hurt. Sometimes the colored resistors are hard to read correctly, and some of the bands are so tiny on the smaller units that the color is simply hard to see!

It may come in handy during the build. I have always just used my DMM to check the value of each resister before installing it. I am partially color blind (hence couldn't fly in the Marine Corps), so I have to depend on an alternative that works really well so far.
