Color fastness testing is an important process used in the textile industry to ensure that fabrics maintain their color and vibrancy over time. This testing is used to ensure that fabrics such as clothing, bedding, home décor, and upholstery meet the expected standards of colorfastness.

The textile industry uses colorfastness testing to measure the degree of resistance a fabric has to fading, bleeding, and staining when exposed to environmental elements such as UV light, washing, dry cleaning, and perspiration. Colorfastness testing is used to determine if fabrics can withstand the wear and tear of everyday use and still maintain their original color, brightness, and vibrancy.  Learn more about color fastness testing in our terminology section.
