With the widespread use of SMD components today - when looking at any relatively new piece of PCB board, you'd probably not find any such resistors but only SMD resistors.

For SMD resistors, here is how to read it's value:

I am surprised you di not include a mnemonic to remember the colour codes,

Yes, there's a very well known mnemonic to remember these. I probably shouldn't type it here.
