Colors an attractive part that creates a good vision to the human eye. Colors may have different hues, tints, shades so on. Hue refers to the origin of the colors and tints refer to any hue or mixture of colors to which white is added. Whereas, shade is a mixture of pure color to which black is added. Holi, one of the major festivals of India celebrated across the country with enthusiasm and excitement. Using natural Eco-holi colors to celebrate holi is very essential because artificial colors made up of chemicals that effects skin, eyes and hair while playing holi. Consumers have recognized some of the health hazards and environmental pollution due to harmful chemicals used in artificial colors. Hence, it is better to use Eco holi colors but the storage of Eco holi colors is a difficult task as it is chemicals free product, maintaining the moisture content during storage for a long period without preservatives requires lot of caring. From the study it was resulted that there is no much difference in color variation of Eco holi colors stored in control and hermetic bag. There is a slight (0.5) variation in colors of pink and blue stored in control and experiment bag. No difference was observed in the colors of yellow, orange, green. As there is very little difference in color variation it is suitable to store colors in hermetic bag and control bag.
