BackgroundWe determined the intra‐ and inter‐rater reliability of data from digital image color analysis between an expert and novice analyst.MethodsFollowing training, the expert and novice independently analyzed 210 randomly ordered images. Both analysts used Adobe®Photoshop lasso or color sampler tools based on the type of image file. After color correction with Pictocolor®in camera software, they recorded L*a*b* (L*=light/dark; a*=red/green; b*=yellow/blue) color values for all skin sites. We computed intra‐rater and inter‐rater agreement within anatomical region, color value (L*, a*, b*), and technique (lasso, color sampler) using a series of one‐way intra‐class correlation coefficients (ICCs).ResultsResults of ICCs for intra‐rater agreement showed high levels of internal consistency reliability within each rater for the lasso technique (ICC ≥ 0.99) and somewhat lower, yet acceptable, level of agreement for the color sampler technique (ICC = 0.91 for expert, ICC = 0.81 for novice). Skin L*, skin b*, and labia L* values reached the highest level of agreement (ICC ≥ 0.92) and skin a*, labia b*, and vaginal wall b* were the lowest (ICC ≥ 0.64).ConclusionData from novice analysts can achieve high levels of agreement with data from expert analysts with training and the use of a detailed, standard protocol.
