Abstract :Colour is a very important feature in the process of clothing design and manufacturing, from fabric selection to design completion. It is a crucial component of fashion that can have a transforming effect upon audience perceptions and reactions. A correct measurement of the colour of textile materials for clothing is the key to market success at a time when the supply of textile goods is significantly higher than the demand. In the clothing industry, correct colour measurement is crucial in at least two areas: appropriate selection of materials for clothing manufacture, in agreement with the design and fashion trends, and ensuring high colour durability of clothing products. While spectrophotometers are universally used for textile colour determination, they have some limitations which can be eliminated by the application of the DigiEye colour measurement system. This device is mostly used for the assessment of products different from textiles, such as foodstuffs, but efforts have also been undertaken to use it for measuring the colour of textile materials. The reports published to date show promising results. The aim of presented work was to analyse the possibility of a wide application of the DigiEye system in the clothing industry for colour and colour durability evaluation of fabrics. Woven fabrics were measured by means of a DataColor spectrophotometer and a DigiEye colorimeter in order to compare the results delivered by these instruments. The study demonstrated a statistically significant correlation of results from the spectrophotometer and the DigiEye. However, some differences between the spectral reflectance curves obtained by the two methods need further investigation.
