Resistor Color Code Chart

There are three types of resistor color coding. Each have different number of color bands and provide different information. The band number that contains the given value is shown in braces [ ]. This is illustrated in the these two tables:

resistor
resistor
resistor
6-band color code

3 digits, multiplier, tolerance,
thermal coefficient

5-band color code

3 digits, multiplier, tolerance

4-band color code

2 digits, multiplier, tolerance

Enter all the color bands. Select None for field 6. Select None for fields 3 and 6.
