1. Color

Certain spectrum of color is contained in a perfect light (white). The identity of a color determined the wavelength of light. As an example of a blue color has a wavelength of 460 nanometers.
· Imaginative Lines
Wavelength colors that the human eye can still be captured ranged from 380-780 nanometers.

In optical devices, color interpretation of the brain may also refer to a mixture of three primary colors of light: red, green, blue which are incorporated in certain compositions. For example mixing 100% red, 0% green, and blue will produce 100% magenta color interpretation.

In art, the colors can mean a certain reflection of light which is influenced by the pigments contained in the object's surface. For example mixing magenta and cyan pigments with the proportion of white light illuminated the right and perfect will produce a sensation similar to a red color.

Each color can give a certain impression and identity according to social conditions of the viewers. For example the white color will give the impression pure and cold in the west because of its association with snow. While most countries in Eastern white color gives the impression of death and is very scary because it is associated with the shroud (although theoretically not the actual white color).

In the science of color, black is considered as the absence of all types of waves of color. While white is considered as a representation of the presence of all colors wave with balanced proportions. Scientifically, they are not the color, although it can be presented in the form of pigments.


Figure 2.1 Spectrum of Colors

Color Grouping

* Color neutral, are the colors that no longer has a purity of color or in other words is not a primary or secondary color. This color is a mixture of the three color components simultaneously, but not in exactly the same composition.
* Color contrast, is an impressive color contrast with one another. Color contrast can be obtained from the opposite color (the midpoint of the triangle cut) is made up of primary colors and secondary colors. But do not close the possibility of also forming a color contrast to reject the value or purity of color. Examples of contrasting color is red with green, yellow with purple and blue with orange.
* Color of heat, is the color groups in a range of half-circles within circles of color from red to yellow. This became a symbol color, cheerful, excited, angry, etc.. Hot colors impressive distances.
* The color of cold, is a group of colors within the range of a half-circle inside the circle of colors ranging from green to purple. This color is a symbol of tenderness, cool, comfortable and so on. Cool colors impressive distances.

Substance Dyes

Seen from obtaining the source of textile dyes is divided into two namely:

1. natural dyes, derived from nature that is bersal of animals (lac dyes) or can be derived from plant roots, stems, leaves, fruits, bark and flowers.
2. Synthetic dyes are artificial dyes (chemical dyes). Hence the number of these synthetic dyestuff for coloration of the batik dye should be chosen:

a. Use in cold conditions or if the process does not require temperature heat until melelehlan candles.

b. Drugs do not help him destroy the candle and do not cause further hardship on the process effortless.

Batik craftsmen have many familiar plants that can color some of which are textile materials: tree leaf indigo (indofera), skin soga tree height (Ceriops candolleana arn), wood tegeran (cudraina javanensis), turmeric (curcuma), tea ( the), root (Morinda Citrifelia), skin soga jambal (pelthophorum ferruginum), kesumba (bixa orelana), leaves of guava (Psidium guajava). (Sewan Susanto, 1973)

According R.H.MJ. Lemmens and N-Soetjipto Wulijarni in his Southeast Asian Vegetable Resources Nn.3 (plant-dye and tannin-producing plants, 1999), most of the colors can be obtained from plant products, the plant pigments found in plants of different colors depending penimbul according to structure chemical properties. In general olongan plant pigments are chlorophyll, carotenoids, and quinones flovonoid. The vegetable dyes used for coloring textiles can be classified into four types according to its nature:

1. Direct Dyes from hydrogen bonding with hydroxyl groups of fibers, dye fastness is easy for example (curcumin)

2. Acid and alkaline dyes, each of which combines with wool and silk asambasa group, while cotton can not be lasting color if colored; example is the flavonoid pigments.

3. Dyes fat back on the fiber caused by redox processes, these dyes often show a wonderful eternity to light and laundering (eg tarum).

4. Mordant dyes that can color the textiles that have been granted in the form of compounds mordant et al polivalen; coloring agents can be highly conserved and morindin alizarin example.

In dyeing with natural dyes are generally required mordanting workmanship on materials that will be dyed / stamped mordanting where the process is done by immersing the material into metal salts, such as aluminum, iron, tin or chrome. Mordant substances serves to form a chemical bridge between the natural dyes with fiber so that the affinity of dyes increases with the fiber. This is in accordance with the results of the study changes in physical and chemical properties due to natural dye silk mulberry root bark by Tiani and Dasep devoted Hamid (2005) showed that the use of mordant can reduce the influence of fabric colors kelunturan laundering. This shows mordant compound capable of binding the color so it does not easily fade.

· Straight lines (vertical, horizontal, and inclined)

· Curved lines
