  1. Note that the fastness units mentioned are represented by integers ranging from 0 to 5. A rating of 0 indicates the lowest fastness, while a rating of 5 indicates the highest fastness. (B, Blue) (Y, Yellow). Furthermore, the test for washing durability involved five continuous cycles of washing.
