Estimating Color

While MCU is a good estimate for SRM beer colors < 10.5, the MCU color overestimates the color value for darker beers. In an article on [http://www.brewingtechniques.com/brewingtechniques/beerslaw/morey.html Brewing Techniques] Dan Morey proposes using a slightly more complex equation based earlier work and raw data by Mosher and Daniels to handle darker beers. This equation holds for values of SRM up to 50. Most beer software uses the Morey equation. The Morey equation is derived from the MCU value calculated above.
::'''SRM_Color = 1.4922 * [MCU ^ 0.65896859]''' -- Good for beer colors < 50 SRM
