Color plays an important role in the fashion industry to attract attention. But manufacturers face many problems when offering certain colors to textiles because they need to match the color of the product regardless of the lighting conditions such as daylight, incandescent , night light and fluorescent lighting. If the color of a product appears different under different lighting conditions, it is considered a problem of metamerism. Metamerism is a color phenomenon in which the color of a product appears different under different lighting conditions. This can be considered a major defect in the quality of the material.
How does metamerism happen?
Metamerism is a condition in which a pair of objects is placed under different light sources or defined lighting conditions to match the color quality and consistency of the materials. Often, our clothes look different under incandescent lighting in their home compared to fluorescent lighting in the office. This is a common problem among textile manufacturers and usually occurs with garment pieces that do not match under different lighting conditions due to variances in the production process and the various textile dyes used in the manufacturing process.
The problem of metamerism is not only a non-issue for manufacturers in the textile industry. Producers in the paint and electroplating industry, the paper and packaging industry, the plastics industry, the automotive industry and the printing industry are also faced with such problems, because the products are produced in large quantities and when the products are manufactured, certain changes in color batches or pigments occur. changes or changes to different parts. For example, in the automobile manufacturing industry, car parts are painted in different parts (such as each door of the car), individually painted the same color to match the rest of the vehicle, but when the entire car is viewed It looks different. Therefore, it cannot be overemphasized that it is important for manufacturers in every production vertical to find alternative solutions to resolve the metamerism problem in order to provide scientific color consistency to the product.
Color Matching Cabinets – A Method of Identifying Metamerism
The problem of metamerism can be solved by using efficient color matching instruments. The instrument allows users to view objects under different lighting conditions and is very effective at identifying color mismatches in objects. The instrument provides highly accurate scientific results.
