The Glories methodand CIE L*a*b*color space are poorly correlated in the lightred high-saturation color area. Non-uniformities in the CIE L*a*b* color space haveled to the CIEDE2000 formula, while the Euclidean color distance isstill used in wine research. In this study, 112 white and red wineswere examined to compare the Glories method, CIE L*a*b, and human perception usingmonovarietal wines from different grape varieties. The objective ofthis study was to investigate which of the two methods and which parameterof each method better aligned with human perception. The visual colorthreshold was re-evaluated with the CIEDE2000 formula and triangletesting. CIE L*a*b* more closely matched the human perception, elevating the use ofCIE L*a*b* overthe use of the Glories method. Visual color thresholds were betterexpressed with CIEDE2000 but still varied depending upon the colorarea in the CIE L*a*b* color space.
