This document discusses the role of computer color matching systems in the textile industry. It provides an overview of the history and components of CCMS, how color matching is done using spectrophotometers and software, and the functions and advantages of these systems. Some limitations include differences between lab and production conditions that can impact dye uptake, and limitations of using standardized illuminants and color scales that do not always match human perception. CCMS can help textile companies match colors more precisely and quickly while reducing stock color needs.
