A relationship has been established between the dyeing properties of fibre–reactive dyes and the spectral reflectance properties of the colours produced on machine–washable wool. The information gained in routine dye calibration for instrumental colour–prediction systems may be used by the practical dyer for dye selection. The spectral reflectance properties of the resultant dyeings are explained in terms of the diffusion, fixation and level–dyeing properties of specific fibre–reactive dyes applied to wool by exhaust and pad–dyeing processes.
