Summary
COI synopsis: An experienced beer drinker doesn’t need anyone to tell him if his beer is the right colour, but the manufacturer has to have a standard to make sure that it is always the same. The ripeness of fruit can also be measured by colour. So, British scientists have produced this new portable Tintometer designed to measure accurately all the colours of the rainbow.
