Analytical Defining of Colour Values for Achieving Desired Color Effects on Fabrics

Colour is one of the most important properties of a fabric because its influence on visual effect of a fabric is highly significant. Proper selection of colour is particularly important when the warp and weft threads differ in colour. Namely, these two colour coupled with the constructional parameters of a fabric produce the colour effect. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the possibilities of predicting colour values of fabrics woven from differently coloured threads and to identify and evaluate the differences between the measured and the theoretically calculated values. In the second part of the paper, the colour values of the weft threads, which would produce the desired effect in combination with the known colour of the warp threads, are calculated by using a theoretical model.
