Comparison of Color Measuring Methods for Yarn Dyed Woven Fabrics

Abstract:

The color appearance mode of yarn dyed woven fabric is different from that of color addition mixture and color subtraction mixture. In order to test and verify the differences of different color measuring methods applied to yarn dyed woven fabrics, 16 samples of yarn dyed woven fabrics made of the threads of different colors in different permutation and combination were tested by human eye evaluation, spectrophotometer and digital image processing system in this paper. The results showed that both the spectrophotometer and digital image processing methods were not accurately approximated to the results of human eye evaluation. Relatively, the results of digital image processing method were closer to that of the human eye evaluation. The work of this paper may contribute to promoting the color measurement in yarn dyed fabrics.
