Gray Scale
Gray Scale
The Gray Scale is a visual tool used in the textile and dyeing industry to evaluate and grade the color change or staining of a fabric after testing (e.g., washing, rubbing, and light exposure). It helps assess how much a fabric’s color has altered or transferred during durability or fastness tests.
Types of Gray Scale:
- Gray Scale for Color Change – Compares the original and tested sample to measure color fading or alteration.
- Gray Scale for Staining – Compares a white adjacent fabric (before and after testing) to assess color transfer or staining.
Rating System :
– Uses a 1 to 5 scale:
– Grade 5: No change or staining (excellent)
– Grade 1: Severe change or heavy staining (poor)
Intermediate grades (like 4–5, 3–4, etc.) are also used for finer evaluation.
Construction :- Each scale includes pairs of gray chips with varying contrast levels to visually match the test results.
Usage Areas:- Textile testing labs- Dyeing and finishing quality control- Standards like ISO, AATCC, and BIS tests
Benefits :
- Standardized Evaluation – Provides a consistent and objective way to assess color change or staining.
- Simple and Quick to Use – Enables rapid visual comparison during fabric testing.
- Widely Accepted – Complies with international standards (ISO, AATCC) for color fastness grading.
- Cost-Effective Tool – Inexpensive yet essential for reliable quality control in textiles.
- Enhances Quality Assurance – Helps detect dyeing or printing issues before bulk production.
- Supports Multiple Tests – Used for evaluating wash fastness, rubbing fastness, perspiration, light exposure, and more.
- Portable and Durable – Easy to carry and long-lasting with proper care.
Features :
- Dual Type Availability – Comes in two types: for Color Change and for Staining.
- 5-Point Grading System – Grades from 1 (poor) to 5 (excellent), with half-step intervals like 4–5, 3–4.
- Standardized Grey Chips – Includes contrasting grey color pairs to match fabric changes accurately.
- Compact Design – Small, portable card or booklet format for easy lab and field use.
- Durable Material – Made from stable, fade-resistant plastic or cardboard for long-term use.
- Compliance with Standards – Follows ISO 105-A02 (Color Change) and ISO 105-A03 (Staining) norms.
- Easy Visual Comparison – Designed for quick side-by-side assessment of fabric before and after testing.
How to Use :
Select the Right Gray Scale – Use Color Change scale to check fading, or staining scale to check color transfer.
- Place the Samples – Lay the untested (original) and tested fabric side by side (for color change)
– Or place the adjacent white fabric next to the gray scale (for staining).
- Match Against Gray Scale Chips – Visually compare the difference between the samples and find the closest matching gray pair on the scale.
- Assign a Grade
– Grade from 1 to 5, where:
– Grade 5 = no change/staining
– Grade 1 = severe change/staining
– Use half-grades like 4–5 if needed.
- Record the Result – Note the grade in your test report as per the test method (e.g., ISO 105).
- Store Properly – Keep the gray scale away from light and moisture to avoid fading.
- Features :

Categories:
- Gray Scale for Color Change – Used to evaluate the degree of color fading or change in a fabric after testing (e.g., washing, light exposure). – Assesses how much the original color has altered.
- Gray Scale for Staining – Used to assess the degree of color transfer from a dyed fabric to an adjacent white fabric during testing (e.g., rubbing, washing).
– Evaluates staining on undyed fabrics.
These two types are essential tools in color fastness testing across textile labs. Want to know which standard tests use each type?
