 Resistor Color Code
For operational and other information, and for those unable to use the calculator because of browser limitations, there is a table below. For those in the electronics business that are color blind (as I am), working with resistors and color coded capacitors can be difficult. This table names (as well as shows) the colors and the values.

This site has always tried to help, inform, and entertain people, and I've tried to keep it as
ad-free as possible, which is a rarity for a Web site.
It costs hundreds of dollars a year to host this site and it requires hundreds of hours to
maintain and update it.
Nice2know.com is currently funded, designed and maintained solely by
the owner and it will only survive through hard-work and the support and input of members like you.
If you appreciate what I've done, and/or wish to keep the site going, please help me in any way you can.
