Four Bands

6.2 Ω resistor colour code

Four bands: Blue · Red · Gold · 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%

5.89 Ω – 6.51 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 6.2 Ω looks different.
