I can't remember what they taught us, but I do remember ROYGBIV (pronounced roy-gee-biv) from my optics classes and the rest is always easy to fill in.

>IRtuff; It's "Violet gives willingly"
I learned it as "gives" too.....
Don't want to screw up the tradition do we?

Bye bye Rosie of you go Birminghan via Great western,

The acronym is "BBROYGBVGWGS".
RE: Acronym for Resistor color code
we also learned the rape version above but my high school teacher though this version was more PC with the parents.

I wish every engineering type did.

RE: Acronym for Resistor color code
Seriously - the original totally Politically inCorrect one works better than any other I've ever heard, partly because it is so thoroughly non-PC. And if you come right down to it, it's far tamer than half the garbage on TV at prime time these days.

I remember Green Stamps, and Blue Chip stamps. And how the taste of the glue was great when you started out, but you hated it after about 5 licks and switched to a sponge to wet them. My Dad used to go to gas stations that gave out Green Stamps because his company paid for the gas, but we got to keep the stamps. I got my first bike with the Green Stamps I saved up, 40 books IIRC.

The resistors on that card were normally all marked with only the darker colours like brown, black and red. The out-of-place yellow mutiplier band stood out to my eyes.

RE: Acronym for Resistor color code
Instead of memorizing a string of words starting with BBROYG...., this system associated each color directly with a number. This way, to find green, for example, you don't have to think "B, B, R, O, Y, G" and count 1-5.
Black is NO color - nothing, zero
Brown, think brow-ONE.
Red, think TWO red lips.
Orange, think "orange tree" tree rhymes with three.
Yellow, think Yell FOUR help.
Green, think of a green FIVE dollar bill
Blue, think "sick (six) and blue"
Violet, think "violet clouds in heaven, rhymes with SEVEN.
Grey, thing Gray-EIGHT (great)
White, think of white wine, rhymes with NINE
A couple of those are a real stretch, but the whole thing was so silly that I found myself remembering the color codes that way - despite the fact that I thought it was stupid at the time.
