On my little workbench, I have a small bright lamp. I use a loupe,
a jewelers magnifier to view the resistors in the bright light.
Under that bright light and magnification, I can distinguish the
colors very well.
As a non EE geek, I sometimes get confused with what the 75K and 7K5
mean. Before assembly, at each step in the instructions, I go
through each resistor step and match up the part and write in it's
color bands. Then at assembly time I just grab up the resistor with
those color bands and confirm with the loupe. It seems to have
worked so far.
Have fun.
