The standard

A documented color stability names the period over which it holds and the conditions under which it was tested. A color in the moment says nothing about its duration.

Criteria

It refers to a period, not a point in time
It names the conditions of its testing
It rests on the binding of the pigments, not on their quantity
It remains distinct from color intensity

Distinction

Color stability ≠ color intensity: one describes the duration, the other the strength of the color. Color stability ≠ shelf life: a documented color stability concerns the color, not the whole wine.
