Table 11 Relation between wood color (L, a, b*) and percent wood weight loss (y)

From: Color change and termite resistance of fast-growing tropical woods treated with kesambi (Schleichera oleosa) smoke

No.	Wood color	Regression	R²
1.	L	y = − 2.035 + 0.289L* (**)	0.560
2.	a	y = 22.030 − 1.825a* (**)	0.135
3.	b	y = 1.413 + 0.543b* (**)	0.176
4.	L, a, b	y = 1.261 + 0.327L* (*) − 0.227a − 0.209b*	0.582
5.	ΔE	y = 6.515 + 0.026ΔE (ns)	0.09

y = percent wood weight loss; L*, a*, and b* are representing color; (**) highly significant (p ≤ 0.01); ns = not significantly different (p ≤ 0.05); R² = determination coefficient
