Most resistors are so small that the actual value would be too difficult to read if printed on the resistor. Instead, colored bands denote the value of resistance in ohms. Anyone involved in constructing electronic cireuits must become familiar with the color code and with practice, one can tell at a glance what value a specific set of colors means.

When reading a resistor's color bands:

The first two colored bands, pulled from Table $1,$ represent the first and second digits of the resistance, respectively

The third colored band, pulled from Table $2,$ represents the multiplier applied to the first two digits. For example, if there are three zeros after the first two digits, that would be represented by an orange color as the third colored band. If there are no zeros after the first two digits, that would be represented by a black color as the third colored band. See test cases below for additional examples.
