Abstract Daylight fluorescent paints are luminous colors that increasingly used in contemporary art. The pigments consist of a synthetic resin which dyes and optical brighteners embedded. In the recent years, several research articles have been published on composition daylight pigments. Despite growing aging behavior paints, little is known to date about chemical processes involved aging. pres...

Traditional methods of image permanence testing have tracked changes in image appearance (changes in density, color balance, and/or Dmin stain) with densitometric endpoint criteria. Densitometric filter sets were optimized for specific colorant systems, for example, the Status A filter set to measure chromogenic photographic materials like those processed in RA-4 chemistry. Modern digital print...

To investigate the antibacterial functionality of natural colorant extracts, five kinds of natural dying aqueous solutions were obtained by extraction from peony, pomegranate, clove, Coptis chinensis and gallnut using water at 90 °C for 90 min with a liquor ratio (solid natural colorant material/water, weight ratio) of 1:10. The colorimetric assay and antibacterial activity of cotton, silk, and...

An algorithm is suggested for implementation of unlimited primaries in two-constants Kubelka-Munk color matching attempt. Allen's method for tristimulus color matching which was limited to four colorants in two constant theory, dealt with inversable matrices. By application of the pseudo-inverse, it is not necessary to limit the number of primary colors to four as Allen suggested. The suggested...

This paper discusses colorants found in Tumulus MM, the tomb of King Midas or his father, at Gordion, capital Phrygian kingdom. Chromophores, colorants, and auxiliaries are preserved largely independent textiles they once colored. The MM now fragmentary due to degradation processes that occurred inside chamber. For DHA 26 (Vienna, Austria, 2007), we discussed a group golden-yellow fragments fro...
