Textile Color Theory and Color Difference Evaluation

In textile dyeing technology, achieving the desired fabric color involves far more than simply applying dyes to fibers. The final visual appearance of a textile is determined by the combined interaction of light, material structure, human vision, and color measurement standards. Building upon the principles of textile dyeing and coloration processes discussed previously, understanding color perception and color evaluation is equally essential for ensuring dyeing consistency, shade accuracy, and product quality. This article introduces the fundamental principles of color perception, the characteristics of light sources, color classification systems, and modern textile color measurement methods used throughout the textile industry.
