An invar alloy steel sheet for shadow masks is provided which has improved etchability, an economical production method, a shadow mask made of the invar alloy steel sheet, and a color picture tube which incorporates the shadow mask. The invar alloy steel sheet is produced by hot working an alloy slab consisting of 33 top 40 wt % nickel with the balance being iron, and then subjecting the slab to a primary cold rolling at a rolling reduction ratio of not more than 80%, annealing at a temperature of at least 550° C., and subjecting the slab to a secondary cold rolling at a rolling reduction ratio of not more than 50%. The invar alloy steel sheet has a percentage of {100} texture of 60 to 80%.
