Colour assessment

The database of all the colours created in the Dyeing room, which has been prepared and extended for many years, is today improved thanks to the addition of a spectrophotometer to the working dynamic. This technological device is used for capturing and measuring colour objectively, according to the universal CIE L*a*b* system which allows for colour to be assessed in textile restoration processes.
