← HistoryWhich aesthetic impact results when moisture penetrates pietra dura?
A)Loss of vivid color contrast✓
B)Increased structural load capacity
C)Enhanced reflective iridescence occurs
D)Improved resistance to thermal expansion
💡 Explanation
Loss of contrast happens because moisture initiates mineral dissolution and diffusion, which is a chromatic alteration, gradually blurring boundaries; therefore colors lose their definition rather than the structure gaining strength or reflection in the environment.
