AATCC Summer Workshop Goes Virtual with Visual Color Training Webinar
RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C., USA, June 18, 2020—Join Jean Hoskin, former Director of Color Services at Macy’s, for a live webinar on Training Your Visual Color Apparel Team. The webinar will be presented on August 26 at 11:00AM (EDT).
Visual approval of color for production requires the evaluation of lab dyeings, print strike offs, or woven pattern handlooms. Preparing color technicians to perform these evaluations in a light booth requires understanding of the visual environment, sample positioning, and perception.
This presentation will provide visual examples of color relativity and the procedures color technicians can use to make confident color decisions. Hoskin will share best practices for evaluation—with explanations for training a color team, design colleagues, and customers. She will also demonstrate the “what” and “why” of color perception, including simultaneous contrast, gradation, after image, optical mixture, Bezold effect, and the Weber-Fechner Law.
