How Often Should a Color Chart Be Replaced?

Munsell Bead Color Book Chart

When using the color charts for industry standards, quality control, or quality system devices, they should be replaced every two years.

For general use, it is recommended to replace them every 2-4 years.

Remember that exposure to sunlight and heat are going to have the greatest impact on the longevity of your color charts, so make sure you properly store charts and books to maximize their lastingness.
