THERE IS ANOTHER WAY TO REMEMBER THE COLOR CODES Buy British Rubber Orelse Your Girlfriends Blooming Virginity Goes Waste. BLACK,BROWN, RED, ORANGE,YELLOW,GREEN,BLUE,VIOLET, GOLD, WHITE. Now you will never forget it.

maybe i misunderstand,but would yellow not be a five?black,(1);brown(2);red(3);orange(4);and then yellow(5)?

Here's a link that shows a bunch of variations along with the PC incorrect version:

Thirty years ago, before everyone went so PC, that's how it was taught. In another variation, a couple of the terms were different, making this mnemonic device downright offensive.

That's the way I was taught when i worked in a electronics surplus shop by an ole' timer. The more offensive version of dacker's, that is. IMO the more offensive and vulgar the mnemonic the more likley I'll remember it..

yes, typically offensive/sexual mnemonics tend to stick better than their PC counterparts. Great way to learn SAT words...

"For Gold and Silver" (0.1 and 0.01 multipliers.) More polite but still memorable is: "Bad Beer Rots Our Young Guts, But Vodka Goes Well" Personally, I managed to remember them sort of black body spectrum order. You start out "Black", then add energy to go through Brown to ROY G BiV, with white at the end... I think that these days, most people are more likely to see "precision" resistors with 5 bands than 20% resistors with 3 bands. (The ending in red (2%) or brown (1%), and it works the same as the 4-band code only with three 'digits' and a multiplier) Color codes were abandoned on SMT parts (they are hard enough to tell apart on 1/8W resistors), but the general scheme holds. Larger SMT resistors will be marked with a number like "103" which means "1" "0" "000" (10k ohms.)
hmm lol never heard that one but I've heard a few before
