Four Bands

82 Ω resistor colour code

Four bands: Grey · Red · 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%

77.9 Ω – 86.1 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 82 Ω looks different.
