Resistors are quite small.

We use colour codes in order to be able to fit a lot of information in little space.

Each colour represent a number.

Each band of colour have its own representation.

On a 4 band resistor, the first two are actual values, the third is a multiplier and the fourth is accuracy.

Please check out related question and answer down below for more information.

What is the resistor color code and how is it used to identify and select resistors?

The resistor color code use to help to identify the resistance of the resistor. There are four color in the resistor that help to identify the resistance of the resistor. The first and second color represent the numerical value of the resistor. The third color represent the multiplier. The four color represent the tolerance.

What is color coded?

In electronics, a color code is used to show the value of a resistor. Color codes can be used to communicate just about anything that one might want to.


What do the different colours on a resistor mean?

The color bands on a resistor indicate its resistance value. Each color corresponds to a digit, which is used to calculate the resistance value based on a specific color code chart. The tolerance of the resistor is also indicated by a separate color band.

How can a technician identify a wire wound resistor that is color coded?

The same way he/she can identify a composite resistor that is color coded or a metal film resistor that is color coded: by reading the color code bands. They all use the same color code. If for some reason the color bands are damaged and unreadable, the resistor will have to be removed and measured with a meter. However this reading may be incorrect as whatever caused the color bands to become unreadable may have also damaged the resistor, changing its value. Verify the value on the schematic!
