Resistor Color Codes

Components and wires are coded are with colors to identify their value and function.

The colors brown, red, green, blue, and violet are used as tolerance codes on 5-band resistors
only. All 5-band resistors use a colored tolerance band. The blank (20%) ”band” is only used
with the ”4-band” code (3 colored bands + a blank ”band”).
