Types of Resistors - Color code

1st band - 1st digit - Yellow = 4
2nd band - 2nd digit - Violet = 7
3rd band - Red = 2 -- number of zeros that follow -- means 4700 ohms -- 4.7 kilo ohms or 4k7

For 4 banded ones, MFR 1% first 3 bands represent first three digits, and fourth band stands for the number of zeros that follow. 4.7k will be Yw Vt Bk Bn.

Right End Band is for tolerance

Brown Band 1% -- MFR Metal Film Resistor is used in Instrumentation Electronics.

Gold Band 5% -- CFR Carbon Film Resistor is common for Consumer Electronics.

Silver Stripe is 10%
