 | The BCR - Beer Color Reference has been translated into: Polish,
King's English (UK, Australia etc.) Spanish and soon will be available in
French. Then German. (thank you - Raf, Mark, Alfredo y Pedro, and Emilie) |
| Playing card sized "Brewery Guides" matched to measured beer color
samples from the past 10 years are available as a set or individually. I
am planning of measuring specific samples for these cards again this
summer. Please remember my expression that there can be many actual
colors for a given SRM. |
| House Cleaning - There are extras of many of the custom made BCR and
BCR1.97 References. Replacements and extras are available at half price
(or less!) |
| Presently working on translating CAMRA discriptions. |
Importance of a Common Background
and a transparent color guide.
This month I have chosen an Adelson type illusion that uses the
yellow-red colors of beer and the blue colors used to evaluate "beer color".
You have probably surmised that I am going to tell you that these birds are
of identical color - and this is true! If you have a color "picker" or
"chooser" on your computer drag it over the image and "see" for yourself.
Otherwise block out the background using a piece of paper with small holes
in it and see that the two peahens are the same.
