Hi,
I know about the color code but I want to make sure that I am reading it right.

Colors are : white red yellow

I saw the color code for black and then two bands but not white and two bands OR is it a three band diode read as white red yellow? Which way is it?

Thanks,
See attachment picture. The diode is very little.

Thanks for the help with IDing this diode. I am going to go with your assement that the second band is brown and time has made it look more red than brown to my eyes. Maybe I was just seeing red from frustation with the little thing! :) There is so much to learn and know about electronics. I believe that is why I enjoy it.
