Given the importance in most coloration industries of sensibly white shades, it is unsurprising that strenuous efforts have been made to develop visual and instrumental means for assessing whiteness. Roy Hayhurst and Ken Smith recount the history of whiteness evaluation, and describe how the most recent developments have allowed the instrumental determination of whiteness to be made both reliably and, for practical purposes, absolutely.
