Recording method

A recording method which is an ink jet recording method performed on a fabric to which a hydrotropic agent is attached, the method comprising:

• attaching an ink jet composition for textile printing including a metal complex salt dye, in which a hue angle ∠h° defined in CIELAB color space on printed textiles after textile printing is in a range of 260° or more and 310° or less, to the fabric using an ink jet method,
• wherein there is a region in which
• a value of a ratio (metal complex salt dye amount/total dye amount) of a mass of the metal complex salt dye with respect to a total mass of dyes included in the ink jet composition for textile printing is 0.6 or more and 1.0 or less, and
• a value of a ratio (metal complex salt dye/hydrotropic agent) of mass of the metal complex salt dye with respect to a mass of the hydrotropic agent in the fabric is 0.2 or more and 1.0 or less;
• and
• wherein the metal complex salt dye includes a chromium complex salt dye.
