Chromatic variation, colour and luminosity, undergone by the ceramic support protected by the incorporation of a treatment with water repellent products, is analysed. A new methodology is suggested, based on RGB model where quantifiable values from each ceramic sample are obtained through digital measurement of the colour (image histograms), taking as a base the same type of ceramics with no water repellents. Chromatic variation is determined by the type of water repellent and the base material, obtaining the following results: - All the water repellent studied cause variations in the shade and luminosity of the piece. - English red brick (R) is the one presenting less variation of luminosity and shade since it’s been treated with water repellents. - The water repellent of siliconates component is the one which causes less chromatic variation in two of the three bricks studied, the dark brown (T) and the English red (R) one.
