Abstract:

In this paper we report, for realistic industrial work conditions, the applicability of the optimisation model developed to obtain the best colour sequence in the process of fabric dyeing. We have resolved the problem of ordering a long series of colours using a personal computer, to establish an optimum order. This takes into account the perceptual response of the human eye. The sequence begins with one specific colour, returning, under certain conditions, from dark to light colours. The algorithm we developed considerably reduces the number of determinations that must be carried out within a colorimeter.
