Full Description

This method specifies a procedure for measuring the color of paper or paperboard with tristimulus filter colorimeters or spectrophotometers incorporating directional (45/0) geometry and CIE (International Commission on Illumination) illuminant C.In the method, tristimulus functions X (red), Y (green), and Z (blue), appropriate to the CIE-1931 (2) standard observer, are calculated from reflectance measurements R , R , and R. Color can then be expressed in various x y z color space systems:1. Hunter L, a, b2. CIE L*, a*, b*3. L*, C*, h*4. Dominant wavelength, purity, luminosity5. Color difference, [ E, E*, E (CMC)]Instruments equipped with microprocessors which give direct information relating to different color scale systems conform with this method only if the means of measurements and calculation conform with the descriptions herein.
