Chromoscop Shade Guide
Posted on 05/08/2013
The Chromoscop shade guide developed by Ivoclar Vivadent, whose products include Emax and Empress, is also a popular shade guide for practices and labs working with Ivoclar porcelains.
The shade guide consists of five groups of tabs organized by hue.
Groups:
100 = White
200 = Yellow
300 = Orange
400 = Gray
500 = Brown
The tabs are further organized by a numbering system to distinguish chroma and value.
10 = Least Chromatic, Highest Value
40 = Most chromatic, Lowest Value
A photo of the Shade Tab is found below.
