AB - The Kubelka-Munk function is simple but it ignores the film's thickness, so  its applications are greatly limited. Though the exact relationship between  the Kubelka-Munk function and the thickness can be derived from a  differential model, it is too complex to be practically used. Here a  modification is suggested by taking the thickness effect and the  temperature effect into account, and the validity is widely enlarged. The  modified Kubelka-Munk theory can be used as a color-matching model for  colorful fabrics. If the porosity of the film is considered, a fractal  modification with two-scale fractal derivative has to be adopted.
