The effect of the selection of drying process parameters on the color change of Scots pine wood (Pinus Sylvestris L.) is presented. In this work the experimental studies have been performed. The research focused on the influence of drying intensity on the changes of color after drying process. Intensity of drying process was determined on the basis of the average drying gradient. To determine the color of wood before and after drying process the series of experiments have been performed, using color reader device. The wood samples were dried according to three different drying modes, namely: mild, normal and intense. Experiments were conducted in the laboratory dryer. The measurement of wood samples was made using international standards: ISO 11664-2 and ISO 11664-4 of total color change after drying. As a result of the performed statistical tests, there were observed statistically significant color changes of the wood surface for intensive drying mode.
