PURPOSE: A method for manufacturing a color chart for determining maturation of red paprika is provided to maintain freshness of the red paprika during distribution and minimize loss rate. CONSTITUTION: A method for manufacturing a color chart for determining maturation period of red paprika comprises: a process of measuring epicarp redness or pigmentation rate on epicarp of red paprika; a process of grading the red paprika in five group based on epicarp redness; and a step of mixing colors based on the color of red paprika. The five groups comprises a first group having -9.5 to -5.7 of epicarp redness, a second group having -5.7 to 7.4 of epicarp redness, a third group having 7.4 to 17.4 of epicarp redness, a fourth group having 17.4 to 24.4 of epicarp redness, and a fifth group having over 24.4 of epicarp redness. The first to fifth groups has epicarp pigmentation rate from under 50%, 50% to 70%, 70% to 85%, 85% to 95%, and over 95%, respectively.
