[Elecraft] Interpreting Color Codes

[Stephen W. Kercel]

It is worth mentioning that the female retina is generally more richly 
endowed with rods and cones than the male retina. In fact, a small 
percentage of women actually experience four primary colors.

In other words, for the male constructor it is always good practice to get 
the female in your life to check the colors.
