However the colour instability in porcelain restoration is a common problem now a day’s particularly when they exposed to routinely consumable beverages which sever its nature of being tooth coloured. Therefore in this concern the authors has tried to emphasize the historical outlooks, researches on colour stability and difficulties and current trends for colour stability in tooth coloured restorative materials predominantly dental porcelains. A meticulous literature search was executed using MEDLINE/PubMed and other scholarly research bibliographic databases using Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) from 1950 to 2017. Study results showed that there is no ceramic existing which could be classified as total stain free.
Key words:  Color constancy, Porcelains, Spectrophotometer.
