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
markings.
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.
Place a short length of plumbers ptfe tape over the surface and rub with
your fingernail.
