The luster of woven fabrics is an important property in use. In this paper, the correlation between sensory test values and reflective properties measured by goniophotometer or color-difference meter was investigated.
Samples are three kinds of woven silk fabrics, and they were dyed in 16 colors respectively. The assessment of gloss was carried out by means of paired comparison. The results obtained are as follows:
1. It is considered generally that main effects in analysis of variance for paired comparison is highly significant.
2. Specular gloss and lightness have strong correlation with the sensory test values.
3. The correlation between the sensory test values and contrast gloss is not significant.
4. The correlation between the sensory test values and chromaticity is not significant.
