Colored fibers can be blended in a certain proportion to achieve a specific color. It is a very hard task for the colorist to find a good recipe to meet the final product without the aid of computer. In this paper, a color matching method for the colored fiber blends is discussed to substitute some manual work. The fuzzy C-mean cluster way is carried to group the color in the colored fiber blends image. The distance index, which is a key factor during the fuzzy C-mean cluster process, is calculated in the HSV color space with some transformation. The final experiment result proved that, the information of the colors in the blends' image can be replaced by corresponding cluster center associating colors, and the main texture as well as the details about the fibers in the image is preserved.
