[Hallicrafters] SX-25 recapping question

[W8DBF D.B. Fischer]

The color code system for item identification accomplished by the 
application of paint used for model cars, or whatever, can also be achieved 
by the use of the interesting assortment of colors to be found in the 
fingernail polish collection of your XYL, female friend or friend's. 
However, use at your own risk!

The exception being, those among us who are color blind. The most common 
form being the red/green shift. For these people red and green appear as 
different shades of gray. Ever look at the traffic stoplight closely? If so 
you will see lines going vertical, horizontal and diagonal. These are to 
help color blind drivers distinguish between red, yellow and green.

What do these people use as an alternative to a color code system, I wonder? 
Anyone out there with this genetic disability who can lend some insight on 
said issue? Thank you.
