Learn the Resistor Color Code
Practice reading bands and check your answers while learning electronics.

Tolerance
π‘ Read bands from the end with the tolerance band (often gold or silver) on the right. 4-band resistors use two significant digits; 5- and 6-band use three for tighter precision.
Students tips
The classic mnemonic "Big Boys Race Our Young Girls But Violet Generally Wins" maps to black-brown-red-orange-yellow-green-blue-violet-grey-white = 0-9.
Set the bands here, read off the value, then verify β repetition builds the memory fast.
The tolerance range shown tells you the real min/max resistance, which matters in voltage-divider math.
