+Resistors have color coded bands, where each color maps to a number. The first 2 bands of a resistor have a simple encoding scheme: each color maps to a single number.
+
+These colors are encoded as follows:
+
+- Black: 0
+- Brown: 1
+- Red: 2
+- Orange: 3
+- Yellow: 4
+- Green: 5
+- Blue: 6
+- Violet: 7
+- Grey: 8
+- White: 9
+
+Mnemonics map the colors to the numbers, that, when stored as an array, happen to map to their index in the array: Better Be Right Or Your Great Big Values Go Wrong.
+
+More information on the color encoding of resistors can be found in the [Electronic color code Wikipedia article](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_color_code)
