of color is challenging, therefore mathematically-st
andardized color spaces are used. ColorBySpectra is s
oftware that in one click can convert large sets
of absorbance data obtained from a simple spectrophotometer into color spaces: Hunter Lab, CIEL*c*h*
and CIEL*a*b*. It reduces time for data collection,
and sample volume
and equipment needs. The s
oftware is useable on multiple platforms
and would be useful in
food science or other industries interested in precise color information.
There are several commonly used color spaces that quantify perceived color which include Hunter Lab, CIELab, and CIELch. To obtain these values, samples are usually presented to a colorimeter one sample at a time. Obtaining color data can be time consuming for many samples, and special equipment d…
