Light Orange vs. Yellow Yes, like most men (statistically), it is not easy for me to distinguish some specific colors. Hence the question: Is there a way (special light) for one to easily separate/sort parts with similar colors? For example, to separate TransOrange from TransNeonOrange, I got myself a black light bulb, and voila, works like a charm. Some colors are easy to single out under bright sun, but it's the middle of winter here are we got few more months before the sun is not shy anymore. Look for a "daylight" colour lamp and not a "warm white" of "soft white". The warm/soft colours are usually more pleasant to use in homes, so they are more common. The warm colour includes more yellow light, and that makes the difference between these colours much more difficult to see.
