SUMMARY— The dominant wavelength of muscle color depended almost exclusively on pH. A high pH was associated with a high dominant wavelength. Muscle color saturation was associated with moisture content, pH, water-holding capacity, and myoglobin content. The color exhibited the highest degree of purity in muscles that were high in myoglobin content and low in pH, water-holding capacity, and water content. Color lightness was negatively associated with pH, water-holding capacity, and muscle pigments.
