Not so much these days, but it used to be annoying working next to someone colour blind. Every few minutes a resistor appeared under your nose with the words "what does that say?".  :)

Resistors... Capacitors... pretty much anything that has color coded identification...
EEEnthusiast:
I really forgot those through hole resistor days. Haven't used them for many years. That would be tricky for a colour blind guy...
schmitt trigger:
I remember, back in the good 'ol thru hole days, a common mistake was confusing the 15 ohm brown-green-black resistor with a 1 Meg one brown-black-green.

Following the above rule, dyslexia impaired people should also not solder boards?  |O
Ranayna:
Nowadays, those blue bodied metal film resistors are not really readable anyway. The contrast on those is so poor that if I use them, I measure them anyways.
Regarding other through-hole components, the only other still color coded component that I am aware of, are inductors...

I suspect in our case, that the rule comes from making cabling looms. We make custom cabling looms with 20 or more wires...
Those are of course tested, but when someone produces too many errors...
