Color Analysis
Food Analysis Final Exam
| T or F: Cones are responsible for daylight and color vision while rods are responsible for night vision. | True |
| Name three methods for describing and specifying color. | Verbal, visual matching, and instrumental. |
| Define hue in accordance with the Munsell system. | "Color" |
| Define value in accordance with the Munsell system. | Lightness and darkness; from zero (black) to ten (white). |
| Define chroma/saturation in accordance with the Munsell system. | Intensity; extent to which a color differs from gray of the same value. |
| Describe the Munsell color system. | Colors are arranged in 3D according to hue, value, and chroma, expressed as HV/C. |
| Illuminant ___ corresponds to overcast daylight. | C |
| Illuminant ___ corresponds to direct sunlight. | B |
| Illuminant ___ corresponds to average daylight. | D65 |
| Illuminant ___ corresponds to an incandescent light bulb. | A |
| Describe the CIE Tristimulus system. | X, Y, and Z (amount of red, green, and blue required respectively) are plotted X vs Y to give a color match. |
| Color may be determined instrumentally via _____ or ____. | colorimeter, spectrophotometer |
| Name the three main components of a Tristimulus colorimeter. | Source of illumination, filters to modify energy light distribution, and a photoelectric detector. |
| T or F: Colorimeters have a high degree of accuracy but not precision. | False |
| Spectrophotometers measure the _____ or reflectance of a sample. | transmittance |
| Describe the Hunter color system. | Measures three parameters: L (lightness/darkness), a (red or green), and b (yellow or blue). |
| Define specular light. | Light for which the angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence. |
| Smooth polished surfaces have a high degree of ____ ____. | specular reflection |
| Rough surfaces have a high degree of ____ ____. | diffuse relection |
| T or F: Transparent samples transmit light. | True |
| T or F: Translucent samples only reflect light. | False |
| What is the disadvantage to 45/0 or 0/45 geometry? | Only a measure of reflectance, not transmission. |
| How are color tolerances determined? | Subtract standard L, a, and b from that of a sample that is being measured and determine a numerical difference. |
