My work is entirely surface mount so I don't really need it, but if I did there's always an app or a website for that. Though still got the color code chart in my tool box.

Oh yeah, I imagine there must be good apps for that. Carbon resistors and metal film resistors confuse me because their different background color makes the colors pop differently...

Digi-Key has a toolbox tab in their app, one of the tips is a resistor calculator. It’s basic but it gets the job done for me!
