Yes colours have definitely become harder to read. I've used the "PTFE"
tape trick on IC's and SMD parts a number of times to read the

I often use my pocket LED flashing to provide extra illumination. It
has a built in holder, also known as my teeth.

So, what's the PTFE trick for reading IC and SMD markings? I couldn't
find anything with Google.
