SUMMARY
The color band colors for a 1kΩ resistor are determined using the resistor color code formula: ab*10^c±tol. For a 1kΩ resistor, the values are a=1, b=0, and c=2, resulting in the color bands of brown (1), black (0), and red (2). Tolerance (tol) is not required for this specific problem, allowing for a simplified focus on the color bands alone. Additional resources for understanding resistor color codes include Wikipedia and Wolfram Alpha.
