Got told that once and never have forgotten it. Of course its blantly sexist
and used to be racist also (subsitate black for bad). I'm sure that their are
others that are in far better taste.

Big Barstards Root Our Young Girls But Virgins Go Without.
Root is OZ slang for sexWell I hope no one is too upset by all this. Anyway to cap it all of, we went
into the exam knowing that we will remember our colour code, and with
the additional help from our instructor who forgot to remove the resistor
wall chart from the front of the room!Cheers

With the recent influx of fems into our electronics courses (in highschool)
and university engineering courses these memory aids are falling out of
favor for some reason. The real qestion becomes, "Does someone have a
saying that would act as a memory aid without upsetting anyone, past,
present or future with or without full faculities of any race/gender/minority
group/nation/social group/species/...... ".

I should have edited my reply better. I agree 100% rape is not funny and
should never be trivialized. The Politically Correct I, unclearly, referred
to was the original poster's line about not upsetting anyone, past, present
or future... My sincere apologies for not making myself clear. Bob
Resistors are usually very tiny, and it is challenging to print resistance values on them. So, colour bands are printed on them to represent the electrical resistance. These colour bands are known as resistor colour codes. The resistor colour code was invented in the 1920s by the Radio Manufacturers Association (RMA).
All leaded resistors with a power rating up to one watt are marked with colour bands. They are given by several bands and together they specify the resistance value, the tolerance rate and sometimes the reliability or failure rates. The number of bands present in a resistor varies from three to six. The first two bands indicate the resistance value and the third band serves as a multiplier. In this piece of article, let us discuss how to read resistor colour codes, look at an example and learn a mnemonic to remember the number sequence.
The tolerance values represent by how much the resistance can vary from its mean value in terms of percentage. A gold band represents the lowest variation, so be sure to buy these at the electronics store. The value of the given resistance is: 22 Ω 5%. The tolerance of the resistor can be calculated as follows:
This means that the 22 Ω resistor with a tolerance value of 1.1 Ω could range from the actual value as much as 23.1 Ω to as little as 20.9 Ω. It is important to note that the band next to the tolerance band represents the multiplier. All the bands to the left of this band represent the significant digits. There can be more than two such bands.
The capital letters represent the first letters of the colours and their positions the digit values. Now that we have an idea to determine the resistance value of a given resistor. Let us solve some problems related to this in the next section.
As we know, the first two colours represent the significant digits of resistance value so the given colours represent digits 2 and 5. The third band is a multiplier band. Hence, the colour red represents a multiplier factor of 102. The last band represents the tolerance level and the tolerance level of the resistor is 5%. Hence, the resistance value of the given resistor is 2500 5% Ω or 2.5 kΩ.
This tool is used to decode information for color banded axial lead resistors. Select the number of bands, then their colors to determine the value and tolerance of the resistors or view all resistors DigiKey has to offer.

The following are tools to calculate the ohm value and tolerance based on resistor color codes, the total resistance of a group of resistors in parallel or in series, and the resistance of a conductor based on size and conductivity.
An electronic color code is a code that is used to specify the ratings of certain electrical components, such as the resistance in Ohms of a resistor. Electronic color codes are also used to rate capacitors, inductors, diodes, and other electronic components, but are most typically used for resistors. Only resistors are addressed by this calculator.
The color coding for resistors is an international standard that is defined in IEC 60062. The resistor color code shown in the table below involves various colors that represent significant figures, multiplier, tolerance, reliability, and temperature coefficient. Which of these the color refers to is dependent on the position of the color band on the resistor. In a typical four-band resistor, there is a spacing between the third and the fourth band to indicate how the resistor should be read (from left to right, with the lone band after the spacing being the right-most band). In the explanation below, a four-band resistor (the one specifically shown below) will be used. Other possible resistor variations will be described after.
In a typical four-band resistor, the first and second bands represent significant figures. For this example, refer to the figure above with a green, red, blue, and gold band. Using the table provided below, the green band represents the number 5, and the red band is 2.
The third, blue band, is the multiplier. Using the table, the multiplier is thus 1,000,000. This multiplier is multiplied by the significant figures determined from the previous bands, in this case 52, resulting in a value of 52,000,000 Ω, or 52 MΩ.
The fourth band is not always present, but when it is, represents tolerance. This is a percentage by which the resistor value can vary. The gold band in this example indicates a tolerance of 5%, which can be represented by the letter J. This means that the value 52 MΩ can vary by up to 5% in either direction, so the value of the resistor is 49.4 MΩ - 54.6 MΩ.
Coded components have at least three bands: two significant figure bands and a multiplier, but there are other possible variations. For example, components that are made to military specifications are typically four-band resistors that may have a fifth band that indicates the reliability of the resistor in terms of failure rate percentage per 1000 hours of service. It is also possible to have a 5th band that is the temperature coefficient, which indicates the change in resistance of the component as a function of ambient temperature in terms of ppm/K.
More commonly, there are five-band resistors that are more precise due to a third significant figure band. This shifts the position of the multiplier and tolerance band into the 4th and 5th position as compared to a typical four-band resistor.
On the most precise of resistors, a 6th band may be present. The first three bands would be the significant figure bands, the 4th the multiplier, the 5th the tolerance, and the 6th could be either reliability or temperature coefficient. There are also other possible variations, but these are some of the more common configurations.
Resistors are circuit elements that impart electrical resistance. While circuits can be highly complicated, and there are many different ways in which resistors can be arranged in a circuit, resistors in complex circuits can typically be broken down and classified as being connected in series or in parallel.
Sometimes people love creating barriers between themselves and "outsiders". If you use 103 instead of brown black orange or something, it's easier to the "outsiders". I think I finally memorized the color code, as I was typing this reply, after so many years of not remembering it.
BBROYGBVGW - I learned this in high school 40 years ago. Bad Boys Rape Our Young Girls But Violet Gives Willingly. Back then we were at the end stage of vacuum tubes, and resistors were no smaller than 1/2 watt. As we get older the parts get smaller, so you have to keep the magnifying glass handy. As a side note, capacitors used to have a color coding scheme to them as well. Painted dots on the side of the flat capacitors.
No idea why those letters were used though. The surface temperature classification seems rather arbitrary to me although main characters could be a way to tell the class, still totally arbitrary and non-quantitative. Anyone with astronomy background cares to explain?
They were labeled A B C in the order they were discovered and identified. It was only when they began to understand what they actually meant was it necessary to put them in a sequence and by then every one knew what say a type A star looked like.
