Four Bands

4.3 MΩ resistor colour code

Four bands: Yellow · Orange · Green · 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%

4.085 MΩ – 4.515 MΩ

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 4.3 MΩ looks different.
