Abstract
Those who wear uniforms are much interested in design and color of the uniform. What shades of color do uniforms have? How fast are those colors? Searches are made for knowledge of these points.
The relation between user's preference and fashion is investigated. Fastness of the color is measured by means of colorimetry.
It becomes clear that there are only several shades of color in uniforms independently of fashion or user's own likeness, except for a few special colors in fashion. It seems that the fastness is an important factor in the selection of color. But white or light colors have problems that they are less fast by nature.
In conclusion, the authors emphasize that colors of the uniforms must be selected taking user's comfort and fastness of the color into consideration.
