This document discusses color theory and spectrophotometry. It provides definitions for key color science terms like color, hue, fluorescence, and luminescence. It describes the basic components and functions of spectrophotometers, which are used to objectively measure color. Spectrophotometers analyze the spectral composition and wavelength of light to determine color properties. The document also outlines several color spaces like CIE 1931, L*a*b*, and L*C*h that are used to numerically define and compare colors in an objective, standardized way.
