    This document describes how to read color bands on four band resistors to determine resistance value and tolerance. The first two bands indicate a number from 0-9 to represent the first two digits of resistance. The third band multiplies the first two digits by a power of ten. The fourth band indicates tolerance as either 5%, 10%, or 20% using gold, silver, or no band respectively. Examples are given for 220Ω 5%, 2kΩ 10%, and 68Ω 20% resistors.

    Four Band Resistors

    Band Colour 1st Band 2nd Band 3rd Band 4th Band
    Black 0 0 X100
    Brown 1 1 X101
    Red 2 2 X102
    Orange 3 3 X103
    Yellow 4 4 X104
    Green 5 5 X105

    White 9 9 X109
    Gold X10-1 5% tolerance
    Silver X10-2 10% tolerance
    No band 20% tolerance

    Examples:

    220Ω 5% tolerance = Red/Red/Brown/Gold

    2kΩ (2000Ω) 10% tolerance – Red/Black/Red/Silver

    68Ω 20% tolerance – Blue/Gray/Black/No band

    Band 4 (tolerance)

    Band 3 (10x)

    Band 1 Band 2
