+# Resistor Color
+
+If you want to build something using a Raspberry Pi, you'll probably use _resistors_.
+For this exercise, you need to know two things about them:
+
+* Each resistor has a resistance value.
+* Resistors are small - so small in fact that if you printed the resistance value on them, it would be hard to read.
+
+To get around this problem, manufacturers print color-coded bands onto the resistors to denote their resistance values.
+Each band has a position and a numeric value.
+
+The first 2 bands of a resistor have a simple encoding scheme: each color maps to a single number.
+
+In this exercise you are going to create a helpful program so that you don't have to remember the values of the bands.
+
+These colors are encoded as follows:
+
+- Black: 0
+- Brown: 1
+- Red: 2
+- Orange: 3
+- Yellow: 4
+- Green: 5
+- Blue: 6
+- Violet: 7
+- Grey: 8
+- White: 9
+
+The goal of this exercise is to create a way:
+- to look up the numerical value associated with a particular color band
+- to list the different band colors
+
+Mnemonics map the colors to the numbers, that, when stored as an array, happen to map to their index in the array: Better Be Right Or Your Great Big Values Go Wrong.
+
+More information on the color encoding of resistors can be found in the [Electronic color code Wikipedia article](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_color_code)
+
+Although the color names are capitalised in the description, the function colorCode will always be called with the lowercase equivalent, e.g brown instead of Brown
+
+
+## Setup
+
+Go through the setup instructions for Javascript to install the necessary
+dependencies:
+
+[https://exercism.io/tracks/javascript/installation](https://exercism.io/tracks/javascript/installation)
+
+## Requirements
+
+Please `cd` into exercise directory before running all below commands.
+
+Install assignment dependencies:
+
+```bash
+$ npm install
+```
+
+## Making the test suite pass
+
+Execute the tests with:
+
+```bash
+$ npm test
+```
+
+In the test suites all tests but the first have been skipped.
+
+Once you get a test passing, you can enable the next one by changing `xtest` to
+`test`.
+
+
+## Submitting Solutions
+
+Once you have a solution ready, you can submit it using:
+
+```bash
+exercism submit resistor-color.js
+```
+
+## Submitting Incomplete Solutions
+
+It's possible to submit an incomplete solution so you can see how others have
+completed the exercise.
