50 questions with answer key & explanations

Colour is all around us in many forms. It is one of the most important aspects of all textile materials - be it for apparel, household, commercial or institutional use. The identity of the product is most often attributed to colour. Everyone responds to colour and has definite preferences. Colour reflects the season, events and the spirit of people. The choice is affected by culture, tradition, climate, season, occasion or purely personal reason. Colour is an important part of fashion. Designers carefully choose fabric colours to make a definite statement. Colour can be defined as reflection of light striking the surface of an object. It is the visual sensation resulting from reflection of visible light rays that strike the retina and stimulate cells in the nerves of the eye. The nerves send a message to the brain, which produces a sensation of a specific kind, and we see colour. The colour that is observed by the brain is dependent on the particular wavelength or combination of wavelengths of the light source. To see colour on any material, light must be reflected from the object to be seen by the eye. When all light rays are reflected, the object appears white; when none are reflected it is black. The intensity is the purity of colour. The colours, which are displayed in a rainbow are represented by the acronym VIBGYOR. We see a rainbow, because white light is split into different wavelengths.
