Color balance, one of the important characteristics of photographic color prints is evaluated using the hexagonal coordinate indication of characteristic values and the sensory evaluation of photographs so far. But rich experiences of experts were necessary to judge by these methods. Therefore it was required for us to create objective and quantitative evaluation method. This time, using the MTS method that calculate Mahalanobis distance of color balance, the standard space is desirable gray, and evaluate by Smaller the better type SN ratio, it enabled to evaluate dispersion of color balances of the photographic color prints simply and objectively even for the persons who are not experts.
