Excitation Emission Matrix (EEM) spectroscopy can easily identify turmeric due to its high fluorescence and clear, consistent pattern. Another yellow colorant thought to have been traditionally used, [[Amur cork tree|Japanese yellow wood]] or kihada also fluoresces very brightly but they give very distinctive EEM patterns, making it easy to differentiate between the two. Yellow wood has not been detected so far.

A combination of Excitation Emission Matrix (EEM) spectroscopy, Fiber optic reflectance spectroscopy (FORS), and X-ray fluorescence analysis (XRF) is used to detect the various reds and yellows.

Other Reds: Oranges are commonly seen and created by overprinting a red and yellow colorant or through mixing these colors. Safflower and orpiment appear to be the most common combination.Other combinations of reds and yellows have also been used to create various oranges.

Other combinations detected so far are:

  • Safflower, orpiment
  • safflower, turmeric
  • safflower, flavonoid
  • sappanwood, flavonoid
  • red lead, orpiment
  • iron oxide red, orpiment
  • red lead, iron oxide yellow
  • red lead, flavonoid
  • iron oxide red, turmeric
  • red lead, gamboge?
