Hunter Lab

Hunter Lab is a color measurement system used to objectively assess the color of objects, especially in food, cosmetics, and materials. It quantifies color based on three values: L* (lightness), a* (red-green spectrum), and b* (yellow-blue spectrum). These metrics provide a precise way to compare and ensure color consistency across products. For example, a higher L* indicates a lighter color, while positive a* means more red, and positive b* indicates more yellow. This system helps producers maintain quality by providing standardized, measurable color data.
