Back when I was doing lots of through hole products, I could read a resistor
without thinking about it. I used to be pretty good at morse code too...

Whether it’s bands on resistors, or Cat5 wires, Asian manufacturers seem to
have a problem with colors. Back in the old days when stuff was actually made
in the U.S. of A., there was no confusing brown and orange, or white and grey,
or blue and purple. But now all the colors are faded and a little off.

The larger blank band separates the value from the accuracy band starts. As to
what those colors actually are, well, I really couldn't tell.

Actually Ken got it right.
My DVM was reading .802k and I had a brain fart thinking it was 802k and
there was no way I could make 802K match the colors.
Not sure why it cannot display 802 instead. Fluke. I even manually set the
range and it just says over limit on the straight ohm setting.
But I could not figure out which end to start reading from, the gray band
looks like it could be white or silver to my eyes.
So brown black blue black gray should be 106 ohms, right?
How are you supposed to know which end to start with on these precision
resistors?

Is that first band grey or white? Makes more sense that it’s grey. 806 ohms
1%.

4060 ohms?
