Color Prediction of Union Fabrics Considering Mutual Reflection between Yarns-A New Color Prediction Model Using Apposed Color Mixture Theory-

Abstract

Based on the apposed mixing color theory, from the point of the effect of mutual reflection between warp and weft yarns considering the area ratio of warp and weft yarns and the difference between the spectral reflectance of warp and weft yarns, a new color prediction model for union fabrics was proposed. The experiments were carried out for sixty pieces of union fabrics, which had been woven with each two kinds of color yarns selected from thirteen kinds of color yarns. The experiment results were compared with the predicted values with reflection effect and the predicted values without reflection effect. The experiment results showed good agreement with the predicted values with reflection effect based on the new model. It was proved that the new model was effective and precise to predict the surface color for union fabrics.
