The textile industry is one of the most significant industries in Sri Lanka, which gives a massive economic income to the country. Dyeing is an important process in the apparel industry since it directly impacts the exports if it does not have the accurate color consistency that’s needed. Such inaccuracies in color consistency lead to …
