This document provides a method for calculating yellowness and whiteness indices from instrumentally measured color coordinates of white and near-white specimens. It correlates the indices with visual ratings of yellowness or whiteness viewed in daylight. Specimens must be measured according to specific practices and test methods depending on the type and instruments used. The method is intended to compare specimens of the same material and general appearance that fall within specified ranges of dominant wavelength, Munsell value, and Munsell chroma.

Calculating Yellowness and Whiteness Indices from Instrumentally
Measured Color Coordinates This practice provides numbers that correlate with visual ratings of yellowness or whiteness of white and near-white or colorless object-color specimens, viewed in daylight by an observer with normal color vision. Specimens must have been measured according to Practices E1164 and E308 and one of the Test Methods E1331, E1347, E1348 or E1349, depending on the type of the specimen and measuring instruments used. The use of this practice is to compare specimens of the same material and same general appearance. For yellowness measurement, this practice is limited to specimens having dominant wavelength in the range 570 to 580 nm, or Munsell hue (Image 1.0) approximately 2.5GY to 2.5Y. For whiteness measurement, this practice is limited to specimens having Munsell value greater than 8.3 (CIE Y greater than 65) and Munsell Chroma (Image 2.0) no greater than 0.5 for B hues, 0.8 for Y hues, and 0.3 for all other hues.
