:)poonam , black rectifier diodes have silver band marking the negative end .1n914 and 1n4148 diodes are red or pink colour and have a black band at one end marking the negative end . and i have a diode looking component with blue band in middle, its a diac as for zener diodes i have grey with black band at one end .and i have yellow ones with black band at one end , to me the colours mean nothing but the details or numbers on the side when i check them up tells me what voltage rateings they are etc etc
