Résumé :	Color change in celluloid leg bands (2,8 mm wide) in a very short time (already in some more than 200 days) are recorded in light colors during long term studies on stonechats (Saxicola torquata rubicola) in Israel and Germany. Light blue colored leg bands turn to light green and pink colored ones to a creamy white. The papers of ANDERSON (1980) and LINDSEY et al. (1995) show as well as our studies that it is not useful to combine following colors: light blue with light green, pink with white, yellow with white, red with orange, and black with another dark color like dark brown' dark green or dark blue in the same population. The problems of the application of DARVIC leg bands which show a considerably better color stability are discussed.
