Resistor Color Codes: Color Code Charts

Resistor color codes are used to identify the resistance value and tolerance of a resistor. The color code chart is a simple way to decode the colors on a resistor.

Standard Color Code Chart

Color Digit Multiplier Tolerance
Black 0 1 -
Brown 1 10 -
Red 2 100 -
Orange 3 1,000 -
Yellow 4 10,000 -
Green 5 100,000 -
Blue 6 1,000,000 -
Violet 7 10,000,000 -
Grey 8 100,000,000 -
White 9 1,000,000,000 -
Gold - 0.1 ±5%
Silver - 0.01 ±10%
None - - ±20%

How to Read the Chart

  1. First Band (Digit): The first band on the resistor represents the first significant digit. Match the color to the digit in the chart.
  2. Second Band (Digit): The second band represents the second significant digit. Match the color to the digit in the chart.
  3. Third Band (Multiplier): The third band represents the multiplier. Match the color to the multiplier in the chart.
  4. Fourth Band (Tolerance): The fourth band represents the tolerance. Match the color to the tolerance in the chart.

Example: A resistor with the colors Brown, Black, Red, and Gold would have a resistance value of 1000 ohms with a tolerance of ±5%.

Learn how to read and decode resistor color codes to determine the resistance value and tolerance of a resistor. Understand the standard color code chart and how to apply it.
