THE RESISTOR COLOR CODE CHART
The resistor color code is an industry standard in recognizing the value of resistance of a resistor. Each color band represents a number and the order of the color band will represent a number value.
The first two color bands indicate a number. The third color band indicates the multiplier or in other words the number of zeros. The fourth band indicates the tolerance of the resistor +/- 5, 10 or 20 %.
