Selecting shades of acrylic gingival restorative material is challenging. This study examined the shade appropriateness of five acrylic gingival restorative materials. The color was analyzed using an intraoral spectrophotometer (Crystaleye ® , Olympus). The gingival color of maxillary incisors for eighty-nine patients was measured. CIELAB color coordinates (L*, a* and b*) were obtained, and the color difference ∆E (Coverage Error: CE) between shade tabs and natural gingival color of patient samples for each shade guide system were compared. Repeated ANOVA and post hoc analyses with Tukey′s HSD were performed. There was a significant difference among the mean minimum CEs of the tab sets ( p  < 0.01). GC Acrylic (CE = 5.89 ∆E ± 2.97) and Lucitone 199 ®  (CE = 6.55 ± 3.33) groups exhibited CEs significantly lower than all other groups (all  p  < 0.001). The IvoCap ®  system exhibited the highest CE (10.78 ± 3.80), significantly greater than all other groups ( p  < 0.001). No significant differences were observed based on sex ( p  = 0.055) or ethnicity ( p  = 0.327). The GC Acrylic and Lucitone 199 ®  shade guides showed the lowest CEs. All guides had coverage errors above 5.89 ∆E, which is larger than ∆E thresholds of acceptability. Of the materials evaluated in this study, GC Acrylic and Lucitione 199 ®  are best able to reproduce the clinical appearance of the gingival tissue. Many patients have tissue that cannot be reproduced accurately with currently available materials.
