Abstract
In the field of dermatology, colour has always been a very important parameter of reference in order to diagnosis and clinical development of many dermatosis. The quantification of the chromatic variations of the cutis is conditioned by sensorial and perceptive characteristics of the observer, for that reason the study of the colour of the skin and the instrumental measure of its variations either in the red field (erythema) or in the dark (iper or acromia) is a problem that has interested many researchers.
