  • Directed color standard and method for using same
    Patent number: 7352460
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a method for establishing a directed color standard. Color reflectance data is measured from a fabric to construct an initial color standard. Because all fabrics have inherent quality fluctuations, a second series of color reflectance measurements are taken at various locations on a fabric. The second series of color data is used to establish a narrower, directed color standard. The directed color standard can be used by an entity to more efficiently utilize a plurality of third party colored product providers because using the directed color standard results in fewer product rejections based on color deviation.
