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.

Thanks for the confirmation. I wasn't sure I was decoding it correctly as the numbers 2.7uf 16V didn't match the schematics 2.2uf 20V. I know they sometimes make changes during production, but I didn't want to take any chances.
