What determines the colour of a latte?
The colour of a latte is influenced by several factors:
1. **Espresso temperature**: Hotter espresso may result in a darker colour.
2. **Coffee roast level**: Darker roasted coffee gives a deeper colour to the latte.
3. **Type and amount of milk**: Whole milk may give a creamier, lighter colour, while low-fat milk may be paler.
4. **Amount of foam**: More milk foam may result in a lighter colour.
5. **Mixing ratio**: Changing the ratio of espresso to milk can change the colour.
How is the latte colour colour mixing possible?
When mixing the latte colour, you should use the following colours: light brown, beige and a tiny bit of white. To achieve the colour, first mix a medium shade of brown with a small amount of white to make it lighter. Then add a small amount of beige to achieve the characteristic creamy shade of the latte. If necessary, fine-tune the shade by adding more white or brown until the desired latte shade is obtained.
