In this study, color parameters [red color tone (a*), lightness (L*) value, yellow (b*) color tone, tone angle (h degrees) value, and chroma (C*) value], whiteness index (WI*) values, and glossiness measurements [at angles of 20 degrees, 60 degrees, and 85 degrees] were compared in Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) wood with normal and blue rot conditions. According to the color parameters obtained, it was determined that the L* value decreased by 11.43%, a* by 79.95%, b* by 28.86%, and C* by 32.75%, while the h degrees value increased by 17.74%. With the blue coloration, decreases were observed in the 20 degrees glossiness values measured in the & boxV; and 1 directions, while increases were observed in the 60 degrees and 85 degrees glossiness values measured in the & boxV; and 1 directions. With the blue coloration, decreases of 12.86% in the 1 direction and 29.87% in the & boxV; direction in the WI* values were observed. According to these results, it was determined that the wood material with the blue coloration disease had a darker color.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessBlue StainScots PinePinus Sylvestris LColor ParametersWhiteness IndexGlossinessArticle6921810.53502/wood-208267WOS:001753623200001Q4
