Degradation phenomena
Chromatic Alterations
Darkening
Reduction or dimming of surface colour due to a decrease in hue (reduction of visible light reflection).COMMENT:COMMENT: Darkening can be the result of deposits such as soot or dirt, the aging of conservation materials, the transformation of an organic binder
