In resistor color coding, each color corresponds to a specific digit. The standard mapping assigns black to 0, brown to 1, red to 2, orange to 3, yellow to 4, green to 5, blue to 6, violet to 7, gray to 8, and white to 9. Therefore, the digit 1 is represented by brown. The other colors map to different digits (red is 2, black is 0, white is 9), so they don’t match the digit 1. This color-to-digit mapping is how the resistance value is read from the color bands.
