In the resistor color code, which digit corresponds to the color Blue?

• A. 6
• B. 4
• C. 5
• D. 7

Answer: (A)

Colors in the resistor color code are tied to digits: black 0, brown 1, red 2, orange 3, yellow 4, green 5, blue 6, violet 7, gray 8, white 9. Blue represents the digit six. This mapping is used to read the first (and sometimes second) bands as digits, with additional bands indicating multipliers or tolerances in the resistor value. So blue corresponds to six.
