This study reviewed 155 journal articles to examine how artificial intelligence techniques are being applied in textile coloration and related fields. Distribution of the reviewed articles was assessed in terms of the type of journals, year of publication, methods, and research background. Based on the citation network analysis method, an objective approach, CitNetExplorer and VOSviewer are used to identify the clusters. It is found that artificial intelligence techniques are mainly three-layer artificial neural networks with different designs, which are mainly used in textile wastewater decolorisation fields, including wastewater treatment and colour fading, such as colour prediction and real-time monitoring of textile wastewater, dye removal efficiency, and dye degradation. Finally, the future research direction and limitations of this article are put forward.
