    First, the basic knowledge of color
    color: that is, the human response to the eye retina received light, in the brain produced a certain feeling.
    Hue: refers to the name that can more accurately represent a color, color, is the main difference between color and color. Such as: red, yellow, blue, etc

    .
    : also known as saturation or color, used to distinguish the brightness of colors. It can be understood as the proportion of colored and anticolored components in color. The higher the content of colored ingredients, the purer the color and the higher the saturation, and the higher the content of the color-eliminating components (which refer to colors of other components that complement each other and can be mixed into white light), the grayer the color and the lower the saturation. Monochrome in spectral colors has the highest saturation of 100% because it does not contain color-eliminating components, while white, standard gray, and black all contain colors that are antichromic, so saturation is lowest, 0 or no saturation.
    : also known as lightness, which indicates the intensity of light reflected on the surface of a colored object, distinguishing between the intensity and lightness of the color. The stronger the object's reflection of light (or weak absorption), the higher the brightness, and the weaker or stronger the object's reflection of light, the lower the brightness. White objects are bright because they almost absorb light and reflect it all out;
    : The general color changes from yellow-orange-red-green-blue-indigo-purple-black to darker and darker in terms of depth and brightness. The three elements of color are interrelated. The color determines the quality, brightness and purity of the color. Any color that determines its color, saturation, and brightness can be completely precise about what color it is. If one of the features changes, so does the color, describing or determining a color must determine its hue, purity, and brightness.
    three primary colors: dyeing, we are familiar with the color dye is: red, yellow, blue, television screen with red, green, blue three colors to color. All three of the colors they use have the characteristic that no two-color blend can get a third color. We call the three colors with this characteristic three primary colors, one of which is called the primary color. In the application, it is usually required to select the three primary colors mixed to obtain a color scale, can contain all the colors, but in fact (such as dye production), due to the performance or dosing of dyes limited, with red, yellow, blue three primary colors are difficult to achieve very dark and pure black, so in addition to the three primary colors, often need to add a black to increase depth and darkness.
    two process colors: added and subtracted.
    Addition Mixing: Is at the same point in the human eye retina at the same time (or rapidly alternating) into two or more beams of color light, to produce a different color than these light colors, it is the color overlay of color processing method< > The hue of the mixed light depends on the hue of the various lights involved in the mixing and their relative strength, such as red and green light can be mixed with yellow or orange light. If two beams of light are mixed in an appropriate proportion to produce white light, such as red and blue-green light, then the colors of the two beams of light are called complementary colors. The three primary colors of the addition mix are red, green, and blue. The various colors on the TV screen are obtained by the addition of red, green and blue primary colors.
    Subtracted Mixing Color: The different colors of each object produced by overlaying two or more colored objects together, the dyes we use often have the characteristic of being able to selectively absorb light from certain bands (or colors) in the visible spectrum. Therefore, the color of the dye is it absorbs a part of the color light in the light source after the remaining color light is shown, such as yellow dye so it shows yellow, because it absorbs green, blue and other shorter wavelengths of light. It is precisely because of this absorbentity of the dye, so the mixture of the two dyes together will show a smaller brightness than before the mix, so it is subtracted mixture. In addition, the colors produced by the print are also produced by subtracting the inks of various colors. Subtracted blend of the three primary colors are cyan, lich, yellow, they are addition mixed three primary colors (red, green, blue) complement color.Average blend of
    colors: The average blend of colors can be explained by the example of a gyro: first put several colors on the gyro surface, yellow and blue and then quickly rotate the gyro, then we will see the color will be green, it is yellow and blue two colors in the visual response time of the human eye frequently act on the retina produced by an effect (or illusion). The result of this blending is only a mixing change in the phase, and the overall brightness does not change, so it is an average blend.
    : three ways of color mixing in different occasions each useful, master their role law, we can make the world become colorful, colorful. Addition process color three primary colors: red, green, blue, subtract mixed color three primary colors: lich, yellow, cyan three primary colors are independent of each other, neither of which can be matched with the other two. Added and subtracted three primary colors complement each other, i.e. red and cyan, green and lich, yellow and blue, complement each other. In the printing and dyeing industry, the color is mixed with several dyes to spell colors, it belongs to the subtracted process color.
    color matching (color)
    dye spelling three primary colors: red, yellow, blue. (Here red, yellow, and blue are the primary colors of red, yellow, and blue that are subtracted from the process colors, respectively). Two different primary colors can be spelled to get orange, green, purple, called it a secondary color. Spell three colors with two different secondary colors, or any of the primary colors with black or gray.
    should pay attention to the following points when coloring: the nature of
    fiber: because of the different fiber structure, the nature is also different, so it is necessary to choose the dye suitable for the nature of the fiber. Such as dyeing cotton activity, dyeing polyester with dispersion and so on. Coloring should try to choose the same type of dye, which is conducive to the simplification and operation of the dyeing process. Dye dyes have similar dye properties. Such as: directness, dyeing rate, diffusion, dyeing fastness, etc. , otherwise after dyeing color light is different, in the process of use of different degrees of fading.
    the number of dyes used in color collation should be as few as possible, in order to control color light, color spelling is best not to exceed three dyes. If the dye itself has been mixed with several dyes, when using this dye as the main color, the selected dye after the color is as much as possible the dye blended ingredients, in order to reduce the number of dyes.
    consider the fastness of the dyes. Including: sun, washing, wet friction, sweat stains, water stains fastness.
    to consider the production situation of the workshop, the selected dyes to facilitate the production of the workshop.
    consider the cost. Select the lowest cost dyes when customer quality requirements are met.
    to consider the same light spectrum. Mainly demanding customers.
    to master the residual color principle. Residual color is that the two colors have the characteristics of mutual reduction, such as purple light blue, think purple light is too weak, can add some residual color (yellow dye) to reduce, it is worth noting that: the residual color theory only adapts to adjust the color light is only a small amount of adjustment, otherwise too much use will affect the color depth and brightness.
    five pairs of colors
    color pair method:
    select the corresponding light source;
    model must remain indescent;
    model and standard plate placed in the center of the light box;
    put the standard plate on the right side of the model;
    model and standard plate are placed in parallel with the color watcher;
    pair of models and visual orientation is 45 degrees angle.
    the key to
    of color
    , first of all, to find out what is the main color and secondary color material? We call the dye that determines the color depth the main color material, and the dye that adjusts the color color and brightness the secondary color material. The main color material and the secondary color material color, you get a variety of required colors. The main color material and the secondary color material are only relative, that is, the main color material can not be completely single, the secondary color material is not completely two simultaneous existence. For example: the main color material and secondary color material to be very good cooperation, in order to get the ideal results. A color, dye is determined, its main color and secondary color material relationship exists. Also, only the most appropriate proportions get the best results for colors.
    you adjust the main and secondary colors to get better results faster when you're adjusting your colors? It is best to divide into two cases, one is the secondary color material and the main color material ratio is larger (greater than 10%), that is, the color is darker, this situation is relatively simple, according to the addition and subtract of each individual dye can be calculated. Another case is that the secondary color material and the main color material is relatively small (less than or equal to 10%) is also a more vivid situation, the adjustment formula is best adjusted according to the ratio of the secondary color material to the main color material. In particular, the proportion of less than 1% of the case, the color of the courage to be larger, less than the current use, you can wave back. To increase is to make great strides forward, multiply development, do not heartache.
    in the actual coloring process, attention is paid to the effect of the change of dye concentration on the change of dye depth and the effect of dye saturation on the color adjustment.
    When for light, dark and medium-dark colors, if you need to increase the same medium depth, light color amplitude, dark color is greater than medium-dark color, when the dye concentration reaches the dye saturation concentration, then increase the dye concentration on the color change is not much, but because the dye concentration is too large, will cause the accumulation of dyes resulting in a decrease in the amount.
