'tis definitely a 2.7uf (red-violet-green = 275, or 2700000 picofarads, or 2.7microfarads.

The color code is always read in picofarads, and then just move the decimal to the left by six places (pico= 10 to the -12th and micro= 10 to the -6th)

The stripe on the side is a polarity indicator, yes.

Cheers,
