Abstract Special colorimetric scales for estimating erythema of the skin have been developed on the basis of general views regarding the objective nature of color perception and of colorimetric tables in a color atlas. These scales can be used to estimate common or allergic inflammation of the skin produced experimentally in the course of acute and chronic diseases. The system of the evaluation takes into account experience obtained with the assessment of inflammation of the skin on a point scale and the description of the erythema with the aid of the three physical parameters of color: its brightness (ϱ, %), its wavelength (λ, nm), and its saturation (P, %).
