Metameric colour match:
A colour match between two materials in which the colors are identical
under some lighting conditions but not under others. Metameric colour matches
are common when different pigments or dyestuffs are used to colour the
two materials.
Mill-extruded fibre:
Synthetic fibre that is extruded by a carpet manufacturer using polymer
purchased from a fibre producer or chemical manufacturer. Type 6 nylon
and polypropylene (olefin fibre) are commonly mill extruded.
Modular carpet or tile:
Also called "carpet tile." Generally 18" x18" squares
cut from 6' wide broadloom carpet. Sizes may also be 36" X 36"

Moresque:
A multi-color carpet made of (moresque) yarns which are produced by ply-twisting
two or more singles yarns of different colors or shades. The moresque
aesthetic can be achieved by using long space dyed yarns in a patterned
carpet where tonal colors have been used in the space dyed yarns.
Multilevel loop pile:
A woven or tufted carpet style having tufts of varying pile heights, resulting
in a sculptured appearance, pattern or subtle shading. Today most multilevel
loop styles are made on tufting machines equipped with servo motor controls.
The servos allow for precise patterning and more exact yarn control/usage.
