Our objective was to evaluate the efficacy of Color Muse and Nix Pro 2 colorimeters in measuring food color. To that end, measured color coordinates (L*, a*, b*, C*, and h*) of vegetables, fruits, cheeses, and meats by Color Muse and Nix Pro 2 were compared to values obtained with a Minolta CR-400 colorimeter. In general, color space values obtained with Color Muse were greater than those of CR-400 and Nix Pro 2 (P 90%). Taken together, our data suggest that Color Muse and Nix Pro 2 are reliable instruments that can be utilized as alternatives to high-cost colorimeters in food color research.
