Yellowing
A process that changes the color of white paper to yellow or to brown as a result of its interaction with chemical residue left behind from when the paper was manufactured. Only papers made with chemical pulp age this way. However exposure to heat, light, moisture, smoke, and other elements can also yellow any paper. Usually a slow process, the speed of yellowing is dependent on the amounts of adverse exposure or their combination.
