An electronic color code or electronic colour code (see spelling differences) is used to indicate the values or ratings of electronic components, usually for resistors, but also for capacitors, inductors, diodes and others.
A mnemonic which includes color name (s) generally reduces the chances of confusing black and brown. Some mnemonics that are easy to remember: B eetle B ailey R uns O ver Y our G eneral B efore V ery G ood W itnesses. B each B ums R arely O ffer Y ou G atorade B ut V ery G ood W ater.

The first versions of Mosaic and Netscape Navigator used the X11 color names as the basis for their color lists, as both started as X Window System applications. Web colors have an unambiguous colorimetric definition, sRGB, which relates the chromaticities of a particular phosphor set, a given transfer curve, adaptive whitepoint, and viewing conditions. [4] These have been chosen to be similar ...
The following list shows a compact version of the colors in the list of colors A–F, G–M, and N–Z articles. The list shows the color swatch and its name. Hovering over the color box shows the HSV, RGB, and #hex values for the color in the tool tip. All values and conversions are in the sRGB color space, which is an inappropriate assumption for some entries.
^ a b Before yellow and grey colored rings were assigned to tolerance values of ±0.02% and ±0.01% with IEC 60062:2016, some manufacturers used yellow and grey as substitute for gold (±5%) and silver (±10%) colored rings in high-voltage resistors to avoid metal particles in the lacquer.
RGB is a device-dependent color model: different devices detect or reproduce a given RGB value differently, since the color elements (such as phosphors or dyes) and their response to the individual red, green, and blue levels vary from manufacturer to manufacturer, or even in the same device over time.
I separated this page out from Electronic color code because it was cluttering up the article and so many editors insisted on making sure their most favorite mnemonic was mentioned. Separating this out to its own page eliminates that clutter and people who are not interested in learning about the mnemonics can continue on the page without disruption. Those wishing to learn about the field of ...
