Abstract
The colour quality of batik jambi fabric using natural and chemical dyes needs to be tested for its resistance to washing (friction) and heating (thermal) treatment both for drying and ironing. Fabric fading is affected by decreasing the level of brightness and reducing blackish colour and increasing white in an element of colour. The purpose of this study was to measure the level of fading of the colour of the batik jambi cloth using the colour histogram method. The process of this research uses several sizes of jambi batik cloth obtained by three batik production / craftsmen in the Jambi Kota Seberang. Process Treatment of each sample through washing, drying and ironing with temperature variations of 50, 75 and 100 Celsius. Then take a digital photo image and analyzed the level of RGB colour intensity (Red, Green, Blue). If there is a level of change in the increase or decrease in the intensity of the RGB colour, then there is an indication of dis-colouration on the fabric. The results of the testing of the colour of the batik jambi cloth using a colour histogram showed a good degree of colour brightness resistance after a number of treatments, so testing the level of fading of the colour of the batik jambi cloth proved the quality of the natural dyeing process was very good.
