The fuzzy logic‐based approach was applied in studying the influence of a different textile surface structure on colour appearance and similarity. The fuzzy‐based approach has been chosen because fuzzy logic provides the computerising of human reasoning. For the analyses, 100% cotton samples with certain characteristics were chosen. First, the computer match prediction was performed to determine the concentrations of dyestuff to be used in the experimental work. A yellow‐shaded direct dyestuff suitable for cotton dyeing was used. In the next step, the fuzzy logic system was created based on terms that would define the surface characteristics of the samples. The most important part was a proper definition of the rules and linguistic variables that use words for assigning the values of properties and that influence the experience of an observer (gloss, smoothness, roughness, etc.) and connect input space with output space. Finally, the performances of both systems were compared and analysed. In this work, the approach was based solely on the surface–structural characteristics of textile samples. The main aim was to examine the approach using the fuzzy logic‐based technique in order to provide the method that would include surface parameters of textile samples that are of importance in applying colour to different structured textile surfaces. It was confirmed that the fuzzy logic reasoning would have its application in the control of the influence of the surface structure of coloured textiles, especially for lighter shades where the influence of structure parameters on the colour experience of an observer is more emphasised.
