Instrumental measurements clearly confirm that a given colour of a pigmented hair, at the exclusion of red hairs, is mostly governed by two components, <jats:italic>L<\/jats:italic>* and <jats:italic>b<\/jats:italic>*, from the <jats:italic>L<\/jats:italic>*, <jats:italic>a<\/jats:italic>*, <jats:italic>b<\/jats:italic>* reference system.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>The comparisons between visual assessments and instrumental data show that these appear closely linked. Darker hairs show close or subtle variations in <jats:italic>L<\/jats:italic>*, <jats:italic>a<\/jats:italic>*, <jats:italic>b<\/jats:italic>* parameters, making their individual colour differentiation calling for technical improvements in colorimetric measurements.
