The present invention relates to a method for evaluating the quality of an electrode, the method comprising the steps of: preparing a plurality of electrodes not having undergone a rolling process, each electrode including a current collector and an active material layer formed on the current collector; measuring color coordinate values of the respective active material layers of the plurality of electrodes by using an optical system and obtaining an average value thereof; and determining that an electrode having a difference less than or equal to a predetermined value is acceptable and determining an electrode having a difference exceeding the predetermined value is unacceptable, the differences being obtained by subtracting the average value from the color coordinate values measured from the respective electrodes. In addition, the present invention relates to a method for manufacturing an electrode, the method comprising the steps of: preparing a plurality of electrodes not having undergone a rolling process, by applying a slurry including an active material, a conductive material, and a binder on a current collector, followed by drying to form an active material layer; evaluating qualities of the electrodes by using the above-described method; and rolling the electrode determined to be acceptable.
