For everyone elses information. The color code I believe is Yellow, Violet, Gold Gold for the proper resistor. Third order of resistors a charm!
As long as the resistor rating is equal to or greater than the called-for value, you are OK. Ie, if a 1/4W resistor is specified, a 1/2W (or even a 10W) will do the job. The wattage rating is just how much power the resistor can safely dissipate.

There are MANY resistor color code charts on the Intertubes but this usually works for me - Bad Boys Rape Our Young Girls But Violet Gave Willingly

Best mnemonic device I've ever seen for resistor color codes.

The way I learned it (back in the '60s), the first word was the same as the color it represents. I've been told that is not very PC nowadays.
