Do you hate blue resistors?

Don't be absurd. Carbon composition resistors aren't something anyone really likes these days.
They did have one thing, though, that the blue bodied beasties do not possess .... readable bands.

This, too. The blue ones usually have five bands, arranged symmetrically. It's usually hard to see which end to start decoding.
The brown ones are a lot more obvious.

I go with light blue Xicon 271 and can't stand the dark blue Yageo MFR-25 brutal hard to read- orange/brown/red look almost the same to me.

I'll donate a free Internet to anybody who can decode all of those by sight. :popcorn:

The bastard is 33k2 (second from right) but I just realized the problem is LED lighting has very little red spectrum in it. The colours look much better under halogen lighting- although dark blue body still sucks.
