One of the first things you learn in electronics is how to identify a resistor’s value. Through-hole resistors have color codes, and that’s generally where beginners begin. But why are they marked ...

Microsoft Excel gives you a boatload of options for changing the format of color charts. You can change the layout of a chart, then customize that layout to the format you prefer. For example, you can ...

Some people look at a venerable resource like resistor color code charts and see something tried and true, but to [Andrew Jeddeloh], there’s room for improvement. A search for a more intuitive way is ...

Quite often, we need to identify a color on a web page or in an application, so that we can use it on our blogs or apps as well. In such a case, we need to make use of tools to identify the color ...
