For those that already know anything about electronics this certainly won't be 'new'. You will see that it has been slightly 'revised', but it's the same old thing it's always been.
There are two ways of remembering the color codes for resistors. The first is by making a color chart of each color's value and tattooing it on your nose (if you aren't far sighted). The second way is by memorizing a phrase every 'electronics' person in the world has heard before, "Bad Boys 'Revere' Our Young Girls But Violet Gives Willingly". Which stands for, black, brown, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, violet, gray, white, which corresponds to 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9. The first two colors are the first two digits of the resistance value. The third color is the number of zeros after the first two digits. There's also a fourth color which is the tolerance value, how much the thing can be 'off' from the stated value. There are two of those tolerance colors/values, one is gold and I can't remember the second one. Also cn't remember what the gold stands for, but whatever it is, it's close enough for government work, sort of.

If it's stupid, but it works, it ain't stupid.
