Color measurement is a crucial process in the petroleum processing industry as it provides an indication of both the type and quality of the product. The color of petroleum is particularly significant as it reveals the status of the refining process from its crude state to its final deliverables. Moreover, pricing of petroleum products worldwide is partly based on color. In certain applications, color is also utilized as a recognition tool, such as with aviation fuel and ships' diesel fuel.

Dyes are often added to fuels to help identify them and ensure that they are being used for their intended purposes. The use of dyes is common in the petroleum industry, and different colors are used to identify different types of fuels.

Here are some of the common dyes used to identify fuels:

Red: Typically used to identify gasoline, which is used for motor vehicles.
Blue: Often used to identify kerosene, which is used for heating, lighting, and as a fuel for jet engines.
Green: Used to identify diesel fuel, which is used for diesel engines in vehicles, boats, and generators.
Yellow: Used to identify fuels that are exempt from federal excise taxes, such as kerosene used for certain types of aviation.

The use of dyes is regulated by the government to prevent the illegal use of fuels for unintended purposes or to avoid taxes. For example, red diesel fuel is often used for off-road vehicles or agricultural equipment, and its use on public roads is illegal. By adding dyes to the fuel, it is easier for authorities to identify and penalize those who use fuel illegally or for unintended purposes.
