so is there a formula that can be automatically applied to restore the original colors? at least some reasonable approximation, based on the painting's age?

- ouli 5mo agoI would like to know that formula also. this can be an interesting tool to reveal true colors of paintings as the painters intended...
- tudelo 5mo agoI seriously doubt it. Degradation would be in some part related to the conditions the painting was held in, which would be nearly impossible to backtrack outside of one-off case studies. Imagine a painting that was stuck in a room full of smoke -- or was put on some less than good backing paper/framing. There has been some research on what causes degradation on paper/pigment but as far as I know much of it ends up as a mystery, a fact of time...
