I pulled these from a computer power supply. At first I thought they were resistors, but they are around 5-10 Ω. I'm guessing they are inductors, but I can't find a chart which matches this color pattern.

If you know what they are, can you enlighten me?

I decided to break one open. Ceramic core (I couldn't cut it with wire snippers) but I chipped off the outer layer... Super low value resistor?

I believe @hacktastical has the description right. I did a search using some of his terms and found this:

    \$\begingroup\$ So why exactly are you pulling out components that you don't even know what they do? Are you trying to repair something? \$\endgroup\$

    \$\begingroup\$ Anyway most do definitely look like resistors and if there's gold/silver "lining" (pun intended) on them then they will have low values. See for example cdn.sparkfun.com/assets/learn_tutorials/6/4/Resistors.png. Some might be thermistors I suppose, which aren't unlikely to be found in a power supply. (And yes, color coding of TH components is possible one of the dumbest inventions ever made by mankind.) \$\endgroup\$

    \$\begingroup\$ Years ago while reverse engineering an old phone/answering machine for fun (playing with equipment in the lab) I noticed similar things. The designers had used wire-wound resistors for their small inductances... \$\endgroup\$

    \$\begingroup\$ That's why I'm asking what they are. Some things are learning experiences. \$\endgroup\$

They are called wire resistors and they have low ohmic value. For example, in the photo, the yellow resistor has a value of 2.2 ohms (third band is golden). If third band were silver, it would have a value of 0.22 ohms.
