Which color corresponds to multiplier 10^3?

Explanation:
Resistor color coding uses a multiplier band where each color corresponds to a power of ten. Orange represents the exponent 3, so the multiplier is 10^3, i.e., 1000. Therefore orange is the color that matches 10^3. (For context, red would be 10^2, yellow 10^4, and green 10^5, which is why they don’t fit this multiplier.)
