Does anyone know the formular for converting colors in EBC or SRM to computer color RGB?

I don't think there's a formula. I think you have to use a lookup table sort of thing.
I guess if there really is a formula, I'd love to know it.

all i can think of:
put the recipe in BeerSmith or other brew program, take a screenshot, paste into Photoshop, Gimp, etc, use the sample tool on the portion of the screen shot displaying the color

This is the mapping we use on the wiki for SRM. You can easily translate these to RGB. Anything over 30 is just black basically.

I found this image looking for the same thing, 40 points of data isn't a lot for a lookup table so I was content and stopped looking for a true SRM->RGB algorithm.
It does seem to be a bit light north of 25ish to me though

SRM Beer Color Chart
I have an Excel spreadsheet that uses a macro to create a beer color palate. You can modify the values if you like. The chart has all of the points tor the RGB coordinates graphed and it definitely doesn't follow anything normal.
Beer Color Palette
(NOTE: It has a macro that draws the color palette, so you will have to have your security set to medium to use it. If you have concerns on the coding, I can PM you the the code and you can have it checked for safety.)

Here is the code list from the above listed sight. Sorry HBT, but I like these colors WAY more.
code -> SRM
#FFE699 -> 1
#FFD878 -> 2
#FFCA5A -> 3
#FFBF42 -> 4
#FBB123 -> 5
#F8A600 -> 6
#F39C00 -> 7
#EA8F00 -> 8
#E58500 -> 9
#DE7C00 -> 10
#D77200 -> 11
#CF6900 -> 12
#CB6200 -> 13
#C35900 -> 14
#BB5100 -> 15
#B54C00 -> 16
#B04500 -> 17
#A63E00 -> 18
#A13700 -> 19
#9B3200 -> 20
#952D00 -> 21
#8E2900 -> 22
#882300 -> 23
#821E00 -> 24
#7B1A00 -> 25
#771900 -> 26
#701400 -> 27
#6A0E00 -> 28
#660D00 -> 29
#5E0B00 -> 30
#5A0A02 -> 31
#600903 -> 32
#520907 -> 33
#4C0505 -> 34
#470606 -> 35
#440607 -> 36
#3F0708 -> 37
#3B0607 -> 38
#3A070B -> 39
#36080A -> 40
Could someone explain how to me how to map those hexadecimal numbers to colors in excel? Is it possible?
Also, any chance someone has an excel spreadsheet with the SRM color scale conditionally formatted into a cell? This would mean you enter the SRM value into the cell and the cell would turn the right SRM color.

Copy the data above, drop in a txt file (notepad), use replace menu item to replace commas with periods, replace spaces with commas, open in excel, choose "data separated by commas" (tab is the CSV default).
You'll need to use VBA to plot color in a cell, if that's what you're looking for.
You'll need to use VBA to plot color in a cell, if that's what you're looking for.
Tristimulus values (R,G,B) cannot be calculated for a particular SRM because
1. The color formed depends on the thickness of beer through which the light is shining. Darker and redder the wider the glass.
2. The color formed depends on the nature of the illuminant. Redder with "warm" illuminants (A) and bluer with "cooler" (D65).
3. The color perceived depends on whether the beer is held close to the eye (10° Observer) or farther away (2° Observer).
4. The values of R,G,B depend on the color space (sRGB, NTSC, Rec. 709....)
5. Even if conditions 1-4 are the same beers with the same SRM may look totally different. For example, Lindeman's Kriek and Fuller's ESB both have the same SRM but the kriek is much darker and redder.
About the best that can be done is to establish typical viewing conditions: 5 cm path, illuminant C, 2° Observer, sRGB, for example, and then compute colors based on an "average" spectrum. There is a spreadsheet at www.wetnewf.org that will allow you to do this.

Based on Soren's awesome SRM to RGB values, I whipped up a quick ini file that can do some quick calculations for you:
http://methodbrewery.com/srm.php
Coming soon, I'll add in a convert to Hex button just for kicks and some sample beer styles & brands along the beautiful beer color gradient!

As noted in #14 one cannot produce RGB values from SRM without specifying the path, the illuminant, the observer and some information about the spectral deviation of the beer from "average". The Wikipedia article referenced at
http://methodbrewery.com/srm.php (which I wrote though it has been dicked with to some extent - that's Wikipedia) goes into this in some more detail. It is pointless to calculate and display RGB colors unless you specify what path, what illuminant... etc. and verify that the colors are indeed likely to be beer colors. The colors in the chart in the Wikipedia article are not valid beer colors, for example which means that for the specified SRM values I cannot come up with any combination of path, illuminant, observer and spectrum deviation coefficients which give me the colors in the swatches.

#600903 -> 32 should be #560A05
I entered all the colors into a database and made a color table with it, and number 32 was not right ! So i took 31 and 33 and took the average !
Othervise a realy cool chart, thanks

As noted in #16 and #14 you cannot map SRM to color. Very significant in this is that the gamut of modern display systems is much smaller than the gamut of beer colors (which become quite saturated even for modest SRM). IOW you can't do what you are trying to do. If you are going to publish a mapping anyway you are obliged to at least indicate what set of viewing conditions you think this mapping approximates and you especially need to indicate the color space to which your numbers belong. The BJCP guide tries to do what you are trying to do but it states very clearly that the color patches represent 1 cm of beer of average spectral characteristics (which in this case does include some krieks etc.), Illuminant C and the 2 ° observer.
Glad you popped up again - I couldn't remember where this thread was. I did remember that I made a graphic with the colors of 'average' beer as a function of SRM and path for Illuminant C in the sRGB space. It is appended. As you will see if you use your computer's color analysis capabilities, clipping occurs (in the Blue channel) at about 12 SRM for a 1 cm path and at 3 SRM for a 5 cm path. Thus the conclusion that except for very light beers or beers observed in a very short path you can't represent beer color very well on a computer monitor.
Looking back over the thread which I recognize is old I see there was a question as to a formula. There is a formula in the Wikipedia article Standard Reference Method which gives the transmission spectrum of 'average' beer (including lambics etc.). Assuming you know something of color theory you will know how to insert that spectrum into the ASTM E-308 algorithm to calculate X, Y, and Z and how to transform those to sRGB or any other color space which can be tied to XYZ.

Thank you for that chart.
As mentioned before, this is for my own private beer programe, and I only use this to get a estimation of the color of the beer, alongside with IBU and ABV, not perfecr, but so far it does the trick for me ! Over time I might "calibrate" the color if the differences get to big !

Understood. Just thought you might find it interesting.
Indeed, and I am thinking of a way to implement it to make a more precise model that equels what you would see in the glass !

I know this is an old thread and Im a newb here but...I built an app that takes photo in and gives SRM . It works good enough I think but I would like to get some other brewers opinions on it though. Like the other guy said there is some complicated trig going on with conversions and other algorithms used to find color difference and pictures must be taken under precise circumstances (lighting, path, etc).
