On a standard four band resistor: yellow, violet, black, and gold.
Diodes do not have color codes as far as I know. The "turn on" voltage is usually in the ballpark of .4 - .8 volts, and is dependent on the type of diode (germanium, etc.). You may be referring to resistors. Look up in google resistor color code, and this should help you. There will be three colored lines, two are the resistance, the third is a scaling factor. For example, if the first two colors match 82, and the third matches 3, the resistor is a 82 x 1000 = 8.2k ohm resistor. There may also be a fourth color; this denotes the resistance tolerance (1, 2, 5, or 10 percent). If the tolerance is 10%, the above example may range from 8.2k + / 1 820 ohms.
Colour code used to identify resistance of the resistor
They are a standard code with each individual colour representing a single whole number (1-10) indicating the resistance or ohm value. Additionally the gold band represents 5% "tolerance" and the resistance value is more precise. The silver banded resistors have only 10% tolerance & therefore are not as precise in ohm value. Such should be cheaper to buy than the gold ones.
There are seven color codes for a trailer 7 blade. The right turn wire is green, left turn is yellow, the ground wire is white, the tail/marker is brown, the brake is blue, the battery is red or black, and the back up is purple.

brown, red, brown, silver = 120 ohms
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.
Resistors made to a 20% tolerance do not have a color in the 4th tolerance band.
Resistor value is defined by the Resistance the resistor offers in Kilo ohms/ohms value given by color codes on the resistor.
470K ohm at 5% tolerance
1000 ohms = 1Kohm; silver is the tolerance band of the resistor. Silver signifies plus or minus 10%. The fourth band is always the tolerance band. If there is no tolerance band, the tolerance is plus or minus 20%. A gold band would signify plus or minus 5%.

It's the tolerance of the resistor - +/- 10% (grey), 5% (tan/orange), 2% (red), 1% (dark red/maroon), etc.
The color bands show the nominal resistance. The actual resistance is within some percentage (tolerance) of the nominal resistance, so the measured resistance is close to the nominal but not exactly the same. Also resistance varies with factors like temperature and age of the device.
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.
To read the value of a resistor: Resistors are color coded, you can use the chart found below And how accurate the values of resistors are is their tolerance, also found in the chart
First off, it's going to have a brown and an orange ring for the first two bands but then your last band is going to depend on the tolerance of the resistor whether it's +/- %.05 up to +/- %10.
