Resistor color table
Resistor color key:
| Color | Value | Multiplier | Tolerance (%) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Black | 0 | 0 | – |
| Brown | 1 | 1 | ±1 |
| Red | 2 | 2 | ±2 |
| Orange | 3 | 3 | ±0.05 |
| Yellow | 4 | 4 | – |
| Green | 5 | 5 | ±0.5 |
| Blue | 6 | 6 | ±0.25 |
| Violet | 7 | 7 | ±0.1 |
| Gray | 8 | 8 | – |
| White | 9 | 9 | – |
| Gold | – | -1 | ±5 |
| Silver | – | -2 | ±10 |
| None | – | – | ±20 |
The color bars are read from right to left as:
Tolerance
Multiplier
n-Value
…
\r\ n2nd Value
1st Value (on the ”fat” part of the resistor)
Example:
