Hi,
The four band color code is the most common variation. These resistors have two bands for the resistance value, one multiplier and one tolerance band.
When you see only three color bands on a resistor, you know that it is actually a 4-band code with a blank (20%) tolerance band.
I hope it helps you.
Happy learning!!
