- Abstract
- A brief résumé of the various methods used to describe, analyze, or specify colors, including color names, systems of material color standards, colorimeters, and spectrophotometric methods. The computation of colorimetric quantities from spectrophotometric data is considered, together with methods of specification based thereon.
