T1  - Wood : From Natural Color Patterns Toward Naturally Altered Color Impressions
T2  - Handbook of Natural Colorants
N2  - Natural wood colors occur within a wide range from almost white (e.g., white poplar), various yellowish, reddish, and brownish hues to almost black (e.g., ebony). The intrinsic color of wood is basically defined by its chemical composition. However, other factors such as specific anatomical formations or physical properties further affect the optical impression. Starting with the chemical composition of wood and anatomical basics, wood color and its modifications are discussed in this chapter. The classic method of coloring or re-coloring wood-based material surfaces is the application of a coating containing appropriate dyes or pigments. Different concepts for wood coating and coloration are presented. Another method used dyes for coloration of the wood structure. As alternative techniques, physical methods, for example, drying, steaming, ammoniation, bleaching, enzyme treatment, as well as treatment with electromagnetic irradiation (e.g., UV), are explained in this chapter.
