This course provides a comprehensive understanding of color development and matching in textile dyeing and printing. Students will learn the influence of fibre, yarn, and fabric characteristics on coloration, the role of per treatment, and the importance of water quality. The program covers color theory systems, textile dyes and their applications, and practical color matching techniques for different fibres and blends. Participants will gain hands-on experience with laboratory equipment, spectrophotometers, and computer-aided color matching systems. The course also emphasizes recipe development, adjustment, and visual inspection under various light sources to meet buyer requirements with accuracy.
For Personnel in Production, Laboratory Technicians & Merchandisers, Colour Technicians, Lab Assistants, Colourists in Textile Dyeing/ Colour Matching Department etc.
