      abstract = {Research was conducted in 2007 and 2008 to assess the  external coloration components in fruits of the low-chill  peach [Prunus persica (L.) Batsch] 'Tropicbeauty' grown in  Adjuntas, Puerto Rico. Fruits were harvested at three  apparent maturity stages (AMS) (50, 70, and 90% change in  ground color) and external (peel) color was determined  shortly after harvesting (fruits kept at 20°C) or after  storage at 0°C for two weeks followed by ripening at 20°C.  Peel color was determined with a Hunter Lab-MiniScan XE  spectrocolorimeter calibrated with white and black  standards (X=79.8, Y=84.6, Z=90.4) in the L* a* b* uniform  color space, assessing values for L* (lightness of the  color), a* (green to red), b* (blue to yellow), Chroma  (color saturation or intensity), and hue (red, yellow,  green, blue, purple, or intermediate colors between  adjacent pairs of the basic colors). Chroma values  increased as AMS was higher, whereas Hue values tended to  decrease as AMS increased. L* values increased slightly as  AMS was higher and after storage.},
