Color technology in the textile industry, second edition

Color technology in the textile industry, second edition reminded several years ago that in our drive to improve color instruments and their application, we may ignore the role visual evaluation plays in our color decisions. My overall impression of the book is very favorable because it achieves the goal of providing background and guidance to an audience that is involved in everyday color decisions within the textile industry. The authors who contributed to this publication are members of the RA36 Color Committee and represent individuals working within industry, the academic community, and color instrument manufacturing. The book is a welcome addition to a color library and serves as a valuable resource for color education.

Abstract

reminded several years ago that in our drive to improve color instruments and their application, we may ignore the role visual evaluation plays in our color decisions. My overall impression of the book is very favorable because it achieves the goal of providing background and guidance to an audience that is involved in everyday color decisions within the textile industry. The authors who contributed to this publication are members of the RA36 Color Committee and represent individuals working within industry, the academic community, and color instrument manufacturing. The book is a welcome addition to a color library and serves as a valuable resource for color education. KEVIN LOUGHREY Prismatic II: A Visual Display of Measured Color Difference, National Coil Coaters Association, 401 North Michigan Avenue, Chicago, IL, 1997. pp. 13, $55 How many times have you been told, you can’t have that color exactly, but we have one only 1 unit away. Is this good enough for your living room wall? Will your customer reject the shipment because it is “slightly off?” If you could only see what they mean. . . Well now there is help. This handy little reference book provides a visual display of 1 and 5 units of color difference in various parts of the spectrum. Prismatic II is the second edition of a very useful and popular project that allows the reader to see the size color difference that we are talking about when setting tolerances.
