Color Of Textiles

Working in the Textile and Apparel industry today has become more of a challenge than ever before. In order to remain competitive in today’s business environment, we are operating in our local market as well as the global market. Just as working in a global market is aided by knowledge of a foreign language, we also need familiarity with the foreign language when communicating color. Confusion can arise from terms like flare, metamerism, color constancy, tristimulus values, chromaticity coordinates, illuminants, standard depth, hue, chroma, lightness, CMC DE, perceptibility, acceptability, spectral power distribution, color rendering, monochromator, and absorbancy. These expressions can be misunderstood unless you are familiar with the lingo and can “speak the language”.

Our training course, The Color of Textiles “What you need to know” will help you understand the meaning of these terms and how they connect to one another in describing and communicating color. This seminar is designed to provide you with a good foundation for understanding color terminology and the ability to communicate with others in the industry. You will learn at this course:
