This paper studies the influence of textile structure on its colour. It provides a systematic analysis of the changes in spectral reflectance and hence colour differences between three textile substrates: roving, yarn and woven fabric. The transformations of the reflectance spectrum as a result of the changes of the structure were modelled and the evolutions of the colorimetric coordinates L *, a *, b *, C * and h associated with these various transformations were thus calculated and analysed. The work also offers a useful method of modelling the predicted colour from one substrate form to another, which is important to the textile industry.
