Some clarifications
The '''Standard Reference Method''', abbreviated as '''SRM''' is the color system used by brewers to measure the color of specify finished beer and also [[Malt|maltsmalt]]color. In the case of malt it is actually the SRM color of a laboratory wort made from the malt which is printed on the package. The SRM value is historically related 12.7 times the log of the attenuation experienced by light of wavelength 430 nanometers (deep blue) in passing through 1 cm of the beer (or wort). The scaling factor (12.7) and path were chosen (1951) to make SRM values correspond closely to values measured in the British measurement [[Lovibond]], and system which was in use at the time. The two systems are approximately equivalent for home brewing applications. SRM is also sometimes referred to '''Standard Research Method''' by some booksbut this is incorrect. Below are some approximate SRM color ranges.
1.0 - 3.0 SRM - Pale yellow color
20.0 SRM - Black
