As my eyes are deteriorating rapidly in the last 10 years, due mostly to very heavy VDU usage I find it impossible to read the small blue resistors, completely impossible, even with a magnifier inspection lamp.
The 5% brown carbon resistors (like from bitsbox) are much easier to read. Even then sometimes they are tricky.
So here is what I did.
I bought a large compartment box and a pack of known resistors. I placed them in decades eg:
10, 100, 1k, 10k, 100k, 1M
22, 220, 2k2, 22k, 220k, 2M
47, 470, 4k7, 47k, 470k, 4M
Most are still on tape strips, but used ones lie loose in the trays under the tape strips.
These get me by. Should I ever decide to get the other decades I'll just start another box.
When I take a resistor out, I give it a quick glance that it looks "probably right", if I have any doubt I stick it in the breadboard and test it with the meter.
When I'm tearing down a breadboard I put them all back where they belong.
Of course mistakes happen, I drop resistors into random slots and so forth.
What I am planning to get round to is a resistor jig for the meter. Just a couple of old breadboard rails or similar that I can croc clip onto and press resistors against to check them quickly before use or putting back in the compartment box.
