Four Bands

11 Ω resistor colour code

Four bands: Brown · Brown · Black · Gold. The first two give the digits, the third multiplies, the fourth states how far off the real part may be.

Real range at ±5%

10.45 Ω – 11.55 Ω

A gold band allows this much drift.

The same value on a five-band part

Precision resistors carry three significant digits instead of two, so the same 11 Ω looks different.
