Colour measurement in the textile industry is important as a means of  checking dye bath strengths to ensure continuity of colour within batches. Also as a means of checking  the colour of the waste water before and after treatment. 

Metamerism is another reason for colour measurement in the industry as dyes of different composition often create a mismatch under different lighting conditions and this problem can be forseen by examining test pieces before going into full production.

Scales & Values

Grading techniques are widely used to assess product colour by comparison with a representative series of fixed colour standards.

For many product types, a characteristic set of standards was agreed and adopted to aid colour control and the communication of colour specifications; the result is a selection of traditional colour grading scales that have been adopted as industry standards and are still in common use today.

Your Colour Scale requirement determines your instrument choice.  Lovibond® Tintometer® would be delighted to offer advice as to the correct colour scale and thus instrument choice for your application. Please do not hesitate to contact us.
