Gold color band indicates which tolerance?

Explanation:
Color bands on a resistor convey how close the actual resistance will be to its nominal value. The last band is the tolerance, and gold on that band means a tolerance of ±5%, so the real resistance can vary about five percent above or below the stated value. For example, a resistor labeled as 470 ohms with a gold tolerance could range roughly from 446 to 494 ohms. Other common tolerances are brown for ±1% and red for ±2%, with silver indicating ±10%.
