Maybe it's a flash from your past...  Working with microcontrollers there 
is a need for external circuitry requiring resistors for pullups, biasing, 
and current limiting LEDs. 

My eyes aren't getting any better with age but iirc it was a lot easier to 
read the colors on 1/4 watt resistors than the 1/8 watt metal film types 
where the body is light beige or blue.
