7.1 Shade Ranges
the shades of KalORe are designed for single and multi-shade layering techniques.
KalORe has three clearly defined shade groups with clearly defined colors for easy recognition:
• Universal shades (color code on unitip cap / syringe label: green)
• Opaque shades (color code on unitip cap / syringe label: burgundy)
• Translucent shades (color code on unitip cap / syringe label: grey)
the universal shades are ideal for single-shade layering techniques. the opaque and translucent
shades were developed to satisfy the need for high esthetics. these shades can be used alone or
separately in combination for restorations, and can also be used with the universal shades.
7.2 Universal Shades
universal shades have a very delicate balance between value, translucency, hue and chroma and
were developed for a single-shade layering technique. They are grouped into A (reddish-brown), B
(reddish-yellow), C (Grey), D (reddish-grey), Bleach and Cervical shades. Each shade from the same
group has the same hue with an increasing amount of chroma per group. these properties make
the universal shades ideal for single-shade layering techniques.
