Preface

Colorimetry is the science of quantitatively defining, measuring, and communicating a colour of any solid, liquid, or semisolid materials, instead of subjectively describing it, for producing the same colour assured by instrumental testing.

Colour is also one of the most sensitive factors determining the psychological and physical buying decisions of consumers. Hence colour mixing and matching to obtain a desirable shade of solid or liquid products is essential. Initial simple colorimetric measurements have been replaced by spectrophotometric (both absorption spectrophotometry and reflectance spectrophotometry) analysis of colours and updated with digital image analysis of colours in different sectors. Moreover, for more commercial exploitation, every industry understands the importance of colour measurement, communications, and precision matching of colours. As such, this book presents a comprehensive overview of colorimetry. It includes the follow-
