No, the 18 ohm would end in black (one plus eight multiplied by ten to the
zero) but the 180 ohm would end in brown (one plus eight multiplied by ten
to the one).

wouldn't the last value stripe on a 180K be yellow? Unless we're talking
precision (1%, 4 stripe) resistors, in which case it would be orange all
right, but then the 180 ohm would end in black.
