RColours converts the colour bands commonly found on
resistors into the value of that resistor or it
converts a given value into the colour bands that
would be used to represent that value. 3 and 4 band
representations are supported and the user can switch
between the two to compare the result (the value is
held constant and the colour bands altered to suit).

The value is displayed or can be entered in the
industry standard 1K2 style. The colours are
displayed on a picture of a resistor as well as being
named in the drop-down dialogue boxes that can also be
used to select the colours when converting to the
value.

Informative dialogues can be opened to provide
explanations of the tolerance band colours and the
temperature coefficient colour-band if it exists. A
help file is also included.
