With a focus on industrial applications, Total Colour Management in Textiles provides a comprehensive understanding of the many aspects of textile color management. Divided into two sections, the book explores the separate processes of measuring and managing color. While touching briefly on theory, the book is firmly rooted in practical applications — it delineates how to implement color management strategies in the working environment. Each section contains references for further study, as well as discussions of likely future trends.

Target Audience: Professionals in color management, color quality monitoring, and evaluation; graphic designers, merchandisers, and product development specialists; academics and students in textiles, fashion, design, color theory, and fine arts.
