At present, color spaces and numerical values are used
to create, represent and visualize colors in two and three
dimensional space . Usually,
the color of foods has been measured in L*a*b*. The
L*a*b*, or CIELab, color space is an international standard for color measurements, adopted by the Commission Internationale
d’Eclairage (CIE) in 1976. L* is the luminance or
lightness component, which ranges from 0 to 100, and
parameters a* (from green to red) and b* (from blue to yellow)
are the two chromatic components, which range from
120 to 120
