... on their newly revamped website, and also on their new product information sheets. But in each case what is now referred to as SRM specifies the exact same color valuation as for the former Lovibond. It's as if they did a "Find And Replace" and merely changed L to read SRM.

Since SRM and Lovibond are clearly different color scales, I can't imagine why Briess has made this radical move. Any ideas?
 
Contact them. See what they have to say :)

No one believes the Lovibond and SRM color scales to be identical, so no matter how they spin it, it is not right.

Lovibond, SRM
