Abstract: Stearns‐Noechel model was utilized as a primary reference to study color matching principles of digital rotor spun yarn. Three primary colored (red, yellow and blue) cotton fibers were used to spin blended yarns. Spectral reflectance of the two‐component and three‐component samples was measured with data color spectrophotometer. For these samples, the Stearns‐Noechel model parameter
M was determined. Four methods were employed to calculate theM value to improve accuracy of the model, 1.Classical method, named asM 1; 2.Optimizing theM 1 value obtained by the classical method considering the wavelength factor, named asM 2; 3.SimplifiedM 2 according to the linear correlation with the wavelength, named asM 3; 4. SimplifiedM 2 according to the segmentation correlation with the wavelength, named asM 4. The study shows that average color difference of the two‐component decreases from 2.7 to 1.48, and for three‐component samples from 3.32 to 1.66, by usingM 2 instead ofM 1. While calculated usingM 3, the color difference of the two types of samples will be 1.73 and 2.19, correspondingly. This cannot meet color matching needs. As forM 4, the average color difference of the two categories will be 1.54 and 1.91, better than the result obtained usingM 1 andM 3, worse thanM 2. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]- Published
