Apparent Color and True Color

True color refers to the color of water after removing turbidity, while apparent color includes color from dissolved and suspended substances. For highly colored industrial wastewater, color can be primarily from colloids or material in suspension, so both true and apparent color should be measured. While filtration provides reproducible results for removing turbidity, the optimal method to remove turbidity without also removing color has not been identified yet.

Apparent color and true color

The term colour used here is true colour that is the colour of water from which
turbidity has been removed . the term apparent colour includes not only colour due
to substances in solution but also due to suspended matter. In some highly coloured
industrial wastewaters, colour is contributed principally by colloids or suspended
materials. In such cases both true colour and apparent colour should be determined.
The optimal method for removing turbidity without removing colour has not been
found yet. Filtration yields results that are reproducible from day to day and among
laboratories.
