The colors of 121 barley samples were determined by the Agtron, Hunter Color Difference Meter, Gardner Digital Difference Meter, and by visual inspection. Correlations were highly significant among instrument readings and between readings and visual color scores. Variability was low within instruments. A method is proposed for use of the Gardner Digital Difference Meter for determining the color of malting barley and a chart is presented for converting instrument reading to visual color score.
