The fine mulberry silk in the quilt could be divided into pearl white, bright white, light yellow, and yellow colors. However, considering the requirements for raw materials and quality, pearl white was a relatively better color. Because pearl white was the authentic color of good silk, it had extremely high requirements for raw materials. Only the silk of the whole cocoon could have such quality after the silk-making process. Moreover, the color of the silk of this color would change with the light, and the tenacity of the silk was good. Bright white might be the color of fluorescent brightening agents or excessive use of oxido-reducing agents, while yellowish and yellow might be inferior to pearl white in quality (due to factors such as raw cocoons or silk processing techniques). However, strictly speaking, there was no official definition of the three best colors of mulberry silk. The above was only a relative analysis from the information.

Real silk would emit the smell of burning hair when it burned, and it would automatically extinguish after leaving the fire source, while fake silk might not have this smell or continue to burn. Secondly, 84 disinfectant could be used. When the silk was placed in 84 disinfectant, the real silk would completely dissolve, but the fake silk would not.
