Abstract
The visual perception of the professional of conservation and restoration is essential in the chromatic reintegration practice. At this stage the conservator‑restorer must be able to distinguish different hues and shades around the loss and even in the totality of the artwork. However, these physiological capabilities are rarely considered when initiating training in the sector, and there are many students and professionals of conservation and restoration unaware of their level of colour discrimination. The purpose of this article, through comparison with a normal trichromate, is to make known the types of visual deficiencies, the diagnostic tests and the capabilities and limitations of a student with deuteranomaly in chromatic reintegration process.
