ABC Means with different superscripts are significantly different within TE levels (α). abcde Means with different superscripts are significantly different within days of retail display (β). For L*: Standard error of the mean (STE) = 0.113, p values α = 0.169, β < 0.0001, and αβ = 0.075. For a*: STE = 0.061, p values α < 0.0001, β < 0.0001, and αβ = 0.004. For b*: STE = 0.055, p values α < 0.0001, β < 0.0001, and αβ = 0.047. For chroma: STE = 0.067, p values α < 0.0001, β < 0.0001, and αβ = 0.001. For Hue: STE = 0.152, p values α < 0.0001, β <0.0001, and αβ = 0.288. For hue angle, no interaction was detected, and means identification was performed for avg of single effects (p < 0.0001).
