An article on artificial and natural light as it affects color matching and color work in the textile industry. It reviews color temperature scales for common light sources, the standard of 5,300°K noon sunlight for white light and 2,800°K for ordinary electric light, and why blue glass filters can whiten electric light only by absorbing at least 80% of it. It warns against exaggerated claims by makers of 'daylight' lamps, explains the difference between lenses and curved glass placques, and discusses the differing lighting needs of the technical colorist and the artist.
