Defining of Wood Colour

Defining of wood colour with spectral photometer has been used for some time and has become one of the most frequent methods in researching of macroscopic and aesthetical properties of wood. Measuring the colour of wood as a heterogeneous material of biological origin is difficult. The colour of wood is not uniform due to the alternating early wood/late wood colour. The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between the density of wood and early wood/ late wood colour. Sycamore maple species(Acer pseudoplatanus L.) was used in this study. It was established that colour parameters L*, a*, b* of early wood zone were not statistically correlated to density. The same result was obtained for late wood of Acer pseudoplatanus.
