After a careful check of the response linearity of the spectrophotomet
er in absorbances and transmittances at wavelengths between 250 and 55
0 nm with potassium dichromate, the influence of the, concentration of
solutions on the tristimulus coordinates and the coordinates of the C
IE 1931 (Commission Internationale de l'Eclairage) and CIELAB colorime
tric systems was analyzed. How to use the value of only some chromatic
coordinates to obtain a sample's concentration simultaneously is also
shown.
