Lovibond
Lovibond refers to a scale used to measure the color of malt, wort, and beer. It's a visual method, comparing a sample to a series of colored glass discs or color charts. The scale is still widely used, especially for describing the color of malts, and is closely related to the Standard Reference Method (SRM) for measuring beer color. 
Scale from 10°-120°
