The Color of fried potato chips

French fries, one culture likes them light the other darker. Many industries have their own color standards, the USDA has one for French fries.
The color of your French fry comes from the potato used, physical differences, types of fat used, areas of production, and the frying process.
These values are important to buyers because certain markets and certain important customers have strong preferences as to the lightness or darkness of the brown coloring.
