The essential question of the paper ‘Can the predicted sensitivity to random and/or proportional dye concentration errors assist in selecting the most repeatable recipes?’ was investigated using the laboratory dyeing of acrylic fabric with basic dyes. When the dye strength errors were not involved, the biggest scattering of the recipe colour in repeated dyeings was observed in the cases of light neutral target colours, where the predicted sensitivity to random concentration errors was also the highest. For a few low‐saturated targets, eight recipes with different predicted sensitivities to random errors were treated. In six cases out of the seven treated, those recipes less sensitive to random concentration errors generally performed better than the more sensitive ones, but the correlation was rather weak. For those cases when the dye strength errors were included, experiments were also carried out with several different recipes for a neutral medium‐lightness target colour.
