VITA A history of shades

Shade communication: Describing color and shade

The original Classical shade guide (originating from 1956)

Vita Classical (Lumin) shade guide limitations This shade guide example is setup by ‘Value’ (lightest to darkest tab). Regardless the shades are not evenly spaced by Value or ‘Chroma’ (Lightness + ‘Richness or saturation’) and if mixed will produce unwanted inconsistencies Patients shades will often fall in-between several unrelated tabs. Definitive correlation between the tabs is lacking and confusing Looking at the shades tabs of B2 and D2, they appear lighter than A2. D4 is lighter than A3.

Classical shades are further restricted when arranged by Lightness and Chroma

Understanding Color

VALUE CHROMA HUE

There are approximately 1000 measurable dental shades. Visual Color Perception Of these 1000, only 100 variations are visually noticable. Tooth shades fall into a banana-shaped area

VITA 1M1 5M3 2M1 * * 3M1 4M1 R-reddish L-yellow/Greenish The original Vita Classical shades overlap each other which is often confusing in shade choice. Shades cannot be equally mixed with an expected repeatable result. A new intermediate shade of 1.5M1 is observed and created by mixing the 1M1 and 2M1 together. 1.5M1 Vita 3D-MASTER is ordered and equidistant for perfect matches
