17KOhm is *not* one of the E values (closest: 16.9KOhm in E48 and up) so there is no “standard” code. If we were to coerce the colour code as-is to the requested value, then the answer above is correct (Brown, Violet, Orange) with the observation that the fourth band cannot indicate a tolerance higher than 2%, therefore the fourth band *cannot* be any of: missing, Gold or Silver. Therefore, given the aforementioned assumption, the correct answer would be: “Brown, Violet, Orange, {Brown, Red, Green, Blue, Violet, Grey}”.

It’s not standard even in E196 series.
If it ever exist it would start with brown, voilet, black, red and finish with color depend of tolerance.

No color. I have one in grey silver metal color
Jan 22, 2016 @ 16:57:25
I have one Silver one . It is different from 17800 and 17400 . For me there is no rule for the color in 17000

Brown, violet, orange. You didn’t mention what tolerance, so the fourth band could be any of several colors.

That depends on the colour used by your VLSI layout tool for polysilicon.

That’s not a standard value, to get the closest to it it’s brown-violet-orange. 🙂

Zoltan has a good point. 17K ohm is not a standard value for a 1, 5 or 5% resostor. Maybe this is a trick question? Zoltan sure get the prize!

Brown, violet, red & gold rings
Jan 24, 2016 @ 21:03:58
brown violet black red + tolerance: gold, red etc
