Abstract:

This paper aims to explore fashion colors distribution characters and their changing rules in their three attributions，including lightness, hue and chroma. The quantitative analysis on fashion colors, released by three authoritative fashion color forecasting agencies，i.e. , Pantone Agency, International Commission for Color in Fashion and Textiles and View International Fashion and Fabrics were made by mintab15 software. The distribution characteristics and changing rules of fashion colors released by every agency were discussed. Meanwhile comparisons of fashion colors among the three agencies were undertaken. The results show that there are certain rules existed in the fashion colors such as the presentation of typical double peaks and contrast of cold and warm tone in hue and so on. IC colors play the leading role for other forecasting agencies as shown by single factor variance analysis.
