There had been many discussed problems in the measuring of plant color.
The authors picked up some of them and obtained the following results.
1. The standard area subject to the measurement has to be decided beforehand in each of samples.
2. The smaller the measured area is in size, the more conspicuously the light deficiency of the colorimeter influences the coordinates for the measurement.
3. All the measurements have to be made on the intact parts of sample.
4. If only one part of each sample is measured, the determination of the measuring part demands a careful consideration.
5. The authors devised new techniques for measuring skin colors of fruits : tomato and grapes.
