I've sort of given up on resistor color codes myself.  The colors just
aren't as bright as they used to be;  they have more bands, and it's 
hard
to tell which is the first band and which is the last.  So I use one of 
those
little Chinese component testers with a ZIF socket.

It also works great for transistors, diodes & capacitors
