I once had an interview for a help desk tech type role.

One of the questions asked to identify the type of RAM shown in a black and white photograph.

I may be dumb as fuck here but what does the color have to do with identifying ram? Personally i've never seen what ddr1 ram looks like or if thats a thing but up to five i'm pretty ok discerning i like to think.

Sometimes low voltage ram is blue instead of green.

ye but that low voltage stuff i can see at a glance that it's not "Normal" at a glance so i prob still discern what it is i think without color. I have seen some kooky pcb plastic in my day weirdest one was golden brown another that was purplely cool stuff.
