9-Step Chromatic Transference Scale

This scale is used to visually evaluate color transfer or staining. The five hues, red, yellow, green, blue and purple, were selected from the Munsell Book of color. The neutral gray chips were selected to correspond to the gray chips on the Gray Scale for Staining. The Chromatic Transference Scale may facilitate evaluations of staining, especially when used by a less experienced technician. Note: Test methods which include the use of the Chromatic Transference Scale for evaluating staining will contain the following clause: "For very critical evaluations and in cases of arbitration, ratings must be based on the geometric Gray Scale for Evaluating Staining." Instructions for use of 9-Step Scale are given in AATCC Evaluation Procedure 8. Order No. 8347.
