> his is also why people around my age (mid 50s) probably have an easier time remembering the resistor color code. The mnemonic I learned 40 years ago is shockingly racist, violent, and sexist--and so impossible to forget. The mnemonics taught to kids nowadays are boring and easy to forget.
Ha ha ha
I just memorized the sequence as a 'word'. Like the beginning of each word, so would be like BlaBroReOraYelGreBluViGraBla
(but not in English, so it's shorter, since I take only the first letter of some of the colors, so maybe BlBROYGBlVGBk)
I didn't use a phrase because I made this mnemonic myself.
Another electronics mnemonic I came up with, which is the Cathode and which is the Anode of a diode. So if you see it's something like this: --->|--- the left side is the Anode (since it looks like an A) and the right is the Cathode so it looks like a K (mirrored in this case)
