Four Bands

30 Ω resistor colour code

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

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 30 Ω looks different.
