Color Measurement of Fabrics with CMC

The color of the material can be judged under different conditions such as geometrical angle and under different sources of lights. This  exercise explains a standard condition to measure the color difference of same samples under different lighting conditions. If the color quality of the fabric is perfect, then it will appear similar irrespective of different lighting conditions. If a color appearance of a textile product when observed under a spectral power distribution appears to be different when compared to another source of spectral distribution, it creates the problem of metamerism.

Problem of Metamerism in Fabrics

The problem of metamerism can be the biggest problem in fabrics that need to be verified using the high-quality testing machine to produce high-quality of fabrics. One of the best testing machines which are widely used to measure the color quality of fabrics is different lighting conditions and to eradicate the problem of metamerism is Color Matching Cabinet.

Solution to Solve Metamerism

Color matching cabinet – Spectrum Asia is a high-quality color matching device which is used in numerous industries for almost all applications that require color consistency and quality. It is designed for the visual evaluation of   color differences under standardized and controlled lighting conditions.

Color Matching Cabinet – Asia for Color Measurement

Color Matching Cabinet Spectrum Asia provides a standardized and controlled environment for visual assessment of colors. The color matching cabinet is used to replicate true color. It allows the user to evaluate color samples under different light sources i.e. artificial Daylight (D-65), Cool White Light (CWF), Ultra Violet Black Light (White & Fluorescent Dyes), Tungsten Filament Light (Domestic Light Matching), TL-84 Light -Troposphere fluorescent Light (Point of Sale).

The use of Multiple Light Sources is the only way to detect – a phenomenon where samples appear to be same under one light source but are distinctly different under another. Color matching cabinets a universally preferred choice for faster, Closer and Accurate Color Matching. The instrument is designed as per standard test methods namely, BS 950, DIN 6173, ASTM  D1729.
