Four Bands

8.2 kΩ resistor colour code

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

8,200 ohms

Real range at ±5%

7.79 kΩ – 8.61 kΩ

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 8.2 kΩ looks different.
