Am I color blind?
#2

Philco 40-180. Capacitors 1A, 6, and 22 are all listed as 250 picofarad Mica caps. They are all 3 dot, but the color codes on all three are green, orange, and green. Shouldn't they all be orange, green, brown? They've never been replaced, and no changes were indicated on any of the schematics.

I am missing something here, or should I go see the eye doctor?

I think that Philco has the color codes in no particular order like resistors.  See here:
