ABSTRACT
This study was aimed to investigate if visual texture could be affected by color
variables such as CIE values and hue/tone categories as well as mechanical
properties of fabrics and to establish prediction models for fabric visual texture
using both mechanical properties and color variables. Six different silk and cotton
fabrics were colored into 3×3 hue (Red, Yellow, and Green)/tone (pale, vivid, and
grayish) for chromatic shades and Gray for neutral using digital textile printing
system and were measured by Kawabata Evaluation System for their mechanical
properties.
