Abstract
The effect of yarn density of color textiles on the visual impression evaluation of double-piled textiles was examined. Four yarn densities and six textile colors were prepared for cotton fabrics and piled on a black or white paper. The semantic differential method was applied for the evaluation with 14 pairs of adjectives, and revealed that the score of the impression evaluation was linearly correlated to the area void fraction of the covering fabric. The examination of the relation between the correlation factors and covering-underlying color combinations resulted in the following: (1) The impression evaluation worsened as the underlying color became more transparent, independent of the color combination between the covering and the underlying paper; (2) The evaluation score was strongly dependent on the yarn density and the values or hues of the colors.
