Resistor Color Code Color code used to deduce resistance values: R = (first-color number) (second-color number)  10third-color number The first digit of the resistance is given by the color band closest to the end of the resistor The fourth color band gives the tolerance Silver = 10% Gold = 5% No fourth colored band: tolerance = 20% Fifth band indicates reliability rating (optional) (Introductory Electronics, Simpson, 2nd Ed.)
