The purpose of this study was to evaluate the difference in the three dimensions of fabrics under different standard illuminants using portable and table top spectrophotometers. This study were designed to combine a controlled experimental laboratory analysis with a retail field approach in order to provide comprehensive and practical information on the effect of retail environment on color. The results of this study show that temperature and humidity in the retail environment and controlled experimental laboratory were different. The variations of temperature and humidity have an impact on the three dimensions of color. Different illuminants in table top spectrophotometer affect color dimensions. Moreover, there was an inter-instrumental agreement between portable and spectrophotometers, but there was a statistically significant in terms of mean differences. === A Dissertation submitted to the Department of Textiles and Consumer Sciences in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. === Degree Awarded: Fall Semester, 2007. === Date of Defense: August 20, 2007. === Temperature and Humidity, Color Measurement, Retail Environment, Illuminence Levels, CIELAB, Illuminants, Spectrophotometer === Includes bibliographical references. === Mary Ann Moore, Professor Directing Dissertation; Fred Huffer, Outside Committee Member; Elizabeth Goldsmith, Committee Member; Pauline Sullivan, Committee Member; Kathryn Bojczyk, Committee Member.
