Abstract [eng] Lightness of textiles is one of the main “white” product quality indicators described by the following parameters: lightness of a colour, colour tone, colour uniformity and stability under the influence of physical factors. “White” textile products can be perceived by comparing them with a standard (Pantone colour palette). On the other hand, the lightness of the fabric can be estimated using the colorimeter and determining lightness of a fabric L. The purpose of a research is to assess the lightness of a linen and semi-linen fabric using two different methods, to carry out a comparative analysis of the results and to associate fabric lightness with the fabric structure parameters. Two methods were used for experiment (colorimeter Spectraflash CF 450X and judges’ assessment of lightness). The analysed colours of a fabric were divided into five colours of grey scale: white, whitish, light grey, grey and dark grey. During examination of two methods different results were obtained: testing with colorimeter, white colour was found in only one fabric, while the judges found the fabrics of white colour much more. Establishing of white and dark grey colours was the most difficult for judges. Fabric lightness L was associated with fabric structure parameters – the warp and weft settings and fabric weave. It was found that these fabric structure parameters affect the lightness of a colour of a fabric L very little or do not affect.
