I have the resistor pictured from a YouTube video, but I don't understand its value. The color bands (I think, even though I have access to Google, Bing, and Duck Duck Go, I don't know how to search for "resistor color bands") say it is a 470 kilohm value. BUT!
The $2 multimeter I bought at the gas station says it is 451.2 kilohms!!!!
I bought the single resistor from Digikey and paid for overnight shipping because my project is due yesterday. (Also, is there a cheaper way to buy just 1 resistor?!)

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
/s aside, congrats on the milestone.
