The ASTM E284-22 standard defines terms used to describe material Appearance, including Color, Glossiness, Texture, and more. The standard supports the work of the ASTM Technical Committee in the area of Color and Appearance, and encourages the Miscellaneous Committee to cite these definitions. The terms and definitions in the standard are intended to provide a clear, consistent description of Appearance in order to maintain standardization across different materials and applications. This standard also conforms to international standards principles, ensuring broad applicability and accuracy of terminology.
