Color Choice: A Balancing Act Between the DNA of the Dye and Requirements - Donna Faber, JCPenney
This session would provide the designer and PD staff with insight into how their choice of palette colors (and strategy for choosing) affects the color requirements of cost, fashion, durability, and dyeing reproducibility further downstream.
It will look at dye classes and their relative costs in production, limitations of certain classes and dyeing processes, and demonstrate ways in which color decisions upstream can be made more efficiently with downstream requirements in mind.
Describing Color Differences: How Good are Your Comments? - Carol Revels, Gap Inc.
Studies have been done to test color vision abilities and to test pass/fail decisions, but there appears to have been limited exploration into assessing one's ability to describe observed color differences. Describing the color difference between a mill dyeing and a color standard is extremely relevant to Retailers, as we give color comments for lab dips and bulk dye lots, thinking our comments will help the dyer correct the color.
Based on a new study of visual color assessment, if the color differences are small, our comments are likely inaccurate, delaying the production pipeline and driving excess work.
Color Communication: Getting Your Message Across - Roland Connelly, X-Rite Inc.
This session will address the exchange of color data along the supply chain. Color data formats will be reviewed, methods of communication along the chain (email, web, and other methods of exchange), and will offer suggestions on how retail/apparel companies can get their suppliers involved in the digital process as a replacement for manual/physical processes.
This session will also cover communication of other color related data such as image files. It will review benefits and limitations of rendering object colors on screen.
