Color Concept in Textiles: A Review

Abstract

Color is extremely important in the modern world. In most cases color is an important factor in the production of the material and it is often vital to the commercial success of the product. It is obvious that a standard system for measuring and specifying color is much desirable. The color of an object depends on many factors, such as lighting, size of sample, and background and surrounding colors. In considering the appearance of an object, factors such as texture and gloss are important, as well as color. Almost all modern color measurement is based on the CIE (International Commission on Illumination) system of color specification. The system is empirical, i.e. is based on experimental observations rather than on theories of color vision.
