In this study, based on CIE L*a*b* uniform color space, the Color i5 measurement instrument was used to measure the color parameters of seven blood amber samples under the D65 illuminant. In addition, the influences of lightness variation of the non-color background on the lightness, the color saturation and the hue of the blood amber were also investigated and discussed. The results show that the lightness of the blood amber is significantly enhanced with the increased lightness of the non-color background and the blood amber with higher transparency is more sensitive to the change of the non-color background; the color saturation of the blood amber increases gradually with the raise of the lightness of the non-color background, which means that the blood amber on the high-lightness background looks more bright-colored than the one on the low-lightness background; the red color hue angle range of blood amber turns out to be diffusing with the increase of the lightness of the non-color background, which means that a slight difference of the hue can be more easily discriminated on the high-brightness background. Thus, it can be concluded that the blood amber with higher transparency is much easier to be influenced by the non-color background; and the increase of the lightness of the non-color background can lead to higher lightness, more bright-colored saturation and diffused hue angle range of the blood amber; and the blood amber is more bright-colored and the color difference can be more easily discriminated on the background with higher lightness.

The wood of maple (Acer Pseudopatanus L.) was steamed with a saturated steam-air mixture at a temperature of t = 95 °C or saturated steam at t = 115 °C and t = 135 °C, in order to give a pale pink-brown, pale brown, and brown-red color. Subsequently, samples of unsteamed and steamed maple wood were irradiated with a UV lamp in a Xenotest Q-SUN Xe-3-H after drying, in order to test the color stability of steamed maple wood. The color change of the wood surface was evaluated by means of measured values on the coordinates of the color space CIE L* a* b*. The results show that the surface of unsteamed maple wood changes color markedly under the influence of UV radiation than the surface of steamed maple wood. The greater the darkening and browning color of the maple wood by steaming, the smaller the changes in the values at the coordinates L*, a*, b* of the steamed maple wood caused by UV radiation. The positive effect of steaming on UV resistance is evidenced by the decrease in the overall color difference ∆E*. While the value of the total color diffusion of unsteamed maple wood induced by UV radiation is ∆E* = 18.5, for maple wood steamed with a saturated steam-air mixture at temperature t = 95 °C the ∆E* decreases to 12.6, for steamed maple wood with saturated water steam with temperature t = 115 °C the ∆E* decreases to 10.4, and for saturated water steam with temperature t = 135 °C the ∆E* decreases to 7.2. Differential ATR-FTIR spectra declare the effect of UV radiation on unsteamed and steamed maple wood and confirm the higher color stability of steamed maple wood.

We developed a method to obtain stable and longlifetime temperature measurements using a fluorescence micromeasurement system. A hydrogel tool containing nano-semiconductor quantum dots (Q-dots) was developed as a fluorescent temperature indicator. We used image processing to convert RGB information to other color information to compensate for photodegradation. The temperature was calibrated using the hydrogel tool in several color spaces, includingRGB(R: red,G: green,B: blue),HSV(H: hue,S: saturation,V: value (brightness)), andYCrCb(Y: brightness,Cr: red color difference,Cb: blue color difference). The calibration results showed thatR,G,B,Y, andCrdecreased monotonically with increasing temperature, whereasHandCbdid not decrease monotonically. The photodegradation analysis showed thatCrwas robust against the brightness fluctuation; however,R,G, andBstrongly affected the brightness fluctuation because these values included the brightness information. These results show that temperature measurements based onCrvalues are suitable to compensate for photodegradation and have a sensitivity of -1.3%/K and an accuracy of 0.3 K. These values are the same as those obtained using the fluorescence intensity method.

The correlations between of lightness, chroma, Cr3+ and color index were studied to analyze the impact of all these three elements on ruby red color; and with the color difference research, the lightness difference is testified to be the key affecting color appearance. Based on the uniform color space CIE 1976L*a*b*, the ruby displays the best red color when the content of Cr3+ is within (1555, 5183ppm), L* (32.64, 44.25) and ho  (354.14, 0.7). With the help of partial correlation analysis of color difference, it is illustrated that the correlation between L* and E* (r=0.999) is relatively higher than that between L* and E* (r=0.948); and with high significance level ( = 0.129) of H* and E*, it shows that H* has little impact on E*. It is concluded that the color change of ruby from red to purple are mostly affected by lightness change; lightness difference should be considered as the most important factor when evaluating the red color of ruby, and then followed by the chroma and hue jointly.

The color parameters of 19 pieces purity transparent and color uniform commercial grade tanzanites were measured by colorimeter Color i5 and this article introduces the concept of Metamerism and calculates the color quantitatively, based on CIE1976 L*a*b* uniform color space, analysis the contribution of different illuminators to the bluish-violet color of tanzanite. The change of hue-angle h0 is in contrast to the actual visual effect, this is called abnormal hue-angle change of the gemstone tanzanite; both of the contributions of lightness difference and chroma difference play the same role to the change of the color difference, form the bluish-violet of tanzanite; it is shown that Metamerism indexes (Mt) of different samples are different and the same sample’s main wavelength follows the change while illuminators altered. Therefore, while illuminators altered, the color of tanzanite samples change from blue to bluish-violet, and the Mt larger, the change of color is greater, namely, the violet hue is more clear, with the better color appearance.

According to different light sources and cathodoluminescence (CL) intensity, the performance of color parameters (lightness L*, chromaticity a* and b*, chroma C*, hue angle ho) and chromophore contents (Cr3+, åFe) are studied to analyze the impact of all these elements on ruby red color. Ruby red under the standard light source D65 (a*=5.65 ~ 26.97, b*= -5.43~3.98) is similar with the color under natural sun-light. Purplish red ho Î (354.14°, 0.7°) with medium-low lightness (L*= 32 ~ 40) under D65 displays the best visual appearance, showing a relatively high value. Comparing with D65, standard light source A reveals ruby a deep red hue (a*= 10.61 ~ 37.39, b*= -6.59 ~ 7.50). Because of the strongest spectrum power distribution in the orange range and fluorescence of light source U30, the hue of orangish tone is mixed in ruby red (a*= 6.92 ~ 31.23, b*= 0.31 ~ 9.34). It is illustrated that åFe can inhibit the intensity of CL which is compared in different voltages. Low lightness purplish red is easy to be influenced by CL and always shows strong luminescence correspondingly. It is concluded that ruby purplish red has strong luminescence of CL which is usually supported by a few of åFe and medium-low lightness under D65, which has an excellent visual perception.

Objectives: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the precision of two dental spectrophotometers in evaluating the color parameters of ceramic materials and to assess the accuracy of a dental spectrophotometer (Shade Pilot, Degudent) for analyzing color parameters of lithium-disilicate ceramic materials. Methods: The CIE L*a*b* color parameters, chroma and hue angle of 6 groups of lithium-disilicate ceramic ingots were recorded: MO0, HO0, LTA1, HTA1, LTBL1, HTBL. The measurements were performed in a viewing-booth under a D65 illuminant. Statistical analysis was performed to assess the precision and differences between the two color-measuring devices. Results: Significant differences were found between all color parameters recorded (p<0.001). The difference varied depending on the type of ceramic ingot assessed. The HO0 ingot showed the highest color difference (ΔE=19.18), while the smallest color difference was found for the MO0 ingot (ΔE=5.62). Conclusions: Color parameters of ceramic materials can be recorded with both color-measuring devices, the VEA showing the highest precision.

In this study, the machine vision and artificial intelligence algorithms were used to rapidly check the degree of cooking of foods and avoid the over-cooking of foods. Using a smart induction cooker for heating, the image processing program automatically recognizes the color of the food before and after cooking. The new cooking parameters were used to identify the cooking conditions of the food when it is undercooked, cooked, and overcooked. In the research, the camera was used in combination with the software for development, and the real-time image processing technology was used to obtain the information of the color of the food, and through calculation parameters, the cooking status of the food was monitored. In the second year, using the color space conversion, a novel algorithm, and artificial intelligence, the foreground segmentation was used to separate the vegetables from the background, and the cooking ripeness, cooking unevenness, oil glossiness, and sauce absorption were calculated. The image color difference and the distribution were used to judge the cooking conditions of the food, so that the cooking system can identify whether or not to adopt partial tumbling, or to end a cooking operation. A novel artificial intelligence algorithm is used in the relative field, and the error rate can be reduced to 3%. This work will significantly help researchers working in the advanced cooking devices.

The calyces of roselle ( Hibiscus sabdariffa L.) are used to make a refreshing drink with high content of anthocyanins and other phenolic compounds, although the process for obtaining the beverage is not standardized. In this research it was determined physicochemical characteristics, total soluble polyphenols content, antioxidant activity and acceptance for beverages prepared by decoction at four concentrations of calyces in water (1.0, 2.5, 5.0 and 10.0%) and two concentrations of sucrose (11 and 16%). Color parameters in beverages permitted to describe them as red, which turned darker as the content of hibiscus increased. Total soluble polyphenols content and antioxidant activity were directly correlated with content of calyces in beverages and inversely correlated with pH, which means that beverages with higher content of calyces could be perceived as more acidic and more intense in characteristics associated with hibiscus presence, such as acid, astringent and the presence of intense dark red color, although the higher concentration of sucrose might have contributed to mask slightly the sourness and astringency. Acceptance for hibiscus beverages allowed to observe two segments of consumers, high-intensity and low-intensity likers but both confluence in overall liking values for beverages prepared with 2.5% calyces and 16% sucrose.
