Are color standards affected by changes in ambient temperature?
The color of a ceramic tile changes measurably and reversibly with changing temperature. During 2007 Dr. David Wyble (Munsell Color Science Laboratory) measured the “thermochromism” of our original tile sets. He concluded that the thermochromism exhibited by our color standards is similar to that of comparable Ceram Series II tiles. This finding is not surprising since both sets of tiles are manufactured using commercial glazes and ordinary firing procedures.
