Values are presented as mean ± standard deviation. Mean values denoted by different letters (a–d) within the same row indicate statistically significant differences at p < 0.05. L* is the lightness value, which defines black at 0 and white at 100; a* represents the green-magenta opponents (negative values toward green and positive toward magenta); b* represents the blue-yellow opponents (negative values toward blue and positive toward yellow).
