Four Bands

36 Ω resistor colour code

Four bands: Orange · Blue · 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%

34.2 Ω – 37.8 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 36 Ω looks different.
