16
Q

Transmit

A

Light ray hits and object and penetrates through the material

17
Q

Absorb

A

Material soaks up light and absorbs it as energy

18
Q

Refract

A

Light wave changes direction as it passes from one medium to another

19
Q

USDA color standards ex

A

Honey
French fries
Peanut butter
Orange juice

20
Q

Lovibond scale

A

Tintometer
Vegetable oils
Beer
Syrups

21
Q

Lab color space

A

L = lightness (0-100)
a = red (+) or green (-)
b = yellow (+) or blue (-)

22
Q

Colorimeter

A

Spectrophotometers that scans the visible spectrum

Evaluate how much of the wavelength was absorbed

23
Q

Total color difference

A

dE indicates the magnitude of difference

24
Q

Tolerance contours

A

Colors in ellipses are indistinguishable from the color at the center
Contour of the ellipse represents just noticeable differences

25
Q

Spectrophotometer

A

Measures transmittance
More sensitive
More versatile

26
Q

How colorimeters work

A

Light shines onto surface of sample
As light reflects back into device, it passes through 3 filters

Filters provide values that match how our eyes see color
