	abstract = {Relationships between carotenoid concentration, chromameter (L* a* b*), and subjective measurements of fat colour were calculated from 15 mobs of cattle. Carotenoid concentration accounted for 60\% of the variation in b* (n=514), but b* accounted for only 16\% of the variation in subjectively measured fat colour (n=732). Neither the inclusion of other variables (e.g. carcass weight or fat depth) nor transformation of the data substantially improved these relationships. },
