Importance and possibilities of objective colour values usage in colour contrast and colour harmony setting

In this paper, examination has been performed in order to give some answers on question could the objective colour evaluation be used as a guideline in positive colour contrast and harmonious relations setting in a process of designing coloured patterned textiles. The experimental work was based on theoretical thesis that says how knowing and understanding of scientific besides artistic nature of colour, is essential in artistic creation of a designer. The aim was to show that considering the colour in its precise, objective parameters, could assure achieving the exact wanted contrasts and relations among colours, which would be much more complicated and non precise if it would be performed based on pure subjective experience and intuitive reaction. So, the possibility of numerical (computer) colour evaluation in aim of colour placement in harmonious relations was analysed. Analysis was based on two of seven basic Johannes Itten's methodologies for colour coordination: complementary contrast and contrast of saturation. The computer base was used that contains objective numerical information of colour parameters based on CIELAB system of precise, numerical colour evaluation and position of chosen colour hues in CIELAB space (L*a*b* diagram) obtained by instrumental measurement.
