Color parameters were measured on 50 psoriatic plaques in 10 patients, after scoring the amount of scales on them by inspection, with a narrow-band reflectance spectrophotometer (erythema/melanin index expression) and tristimulus colorimeter (CIE L*a*b* expression). Both erythema index a* (redness) were highest in the group of erythematous plaque with little scale (twice as high as in controls) and decreased significantly as the plaques were covered with thicker scale, while L* (brightness) changed in just the opposite fashion of a*. These portable 'color indicators' can be utilized to express the appearance of psoriatic plaques quantitatively, especially the extent of erythema and the amount of the scale on it.
