Nonwoven webs with visually discernible patterns and improved texture perception

A nonwoven web for an absorbent article, the nonwoven web having one or more layers and comprising:

• a first surface;
• a second surface;
• a plurality of continuous spunbond fibers;
• and
• a visually discernible pattern of three-dimensional features on the first surface or the second surface, wherein the three-dimensional features comprise one or more first regions and a plurality of second regions;
• wherein the one or more first regions have a first value of an average intensive property, wherein the plurality of second regions have a second value of the average intensive property, wherein the first value and the second value are different, wherein the first value and the second value are greater than zero, and wherein the average intensive property is basis weight, volumetric density, or caliper;
• wherein a non-white colorant is included in a composition used to create fibers of the non-woven web such that the non-woven web appears white to a human eye, wherein the composition includes 0.15% to 0.4% by weight of the non-white colorant;
• wherein the nonwoven web has a Single Layer Chroma value in the range of about 1.0 to about 3.5, according to the Delta Chroma and Single Layer Chroma Test;
• and
• wherein the nonwoven web has a Delta Chroma value in the range of about +0.1 to about +3.5, according to the Delta Chroma and Single Layer Chroma Test.

A nonwoven web for an absorbent article, the nonwoven web having one or more layers and comprising:

• a first surface;
• a second surface;
• and
• a first visually discernible pattern of three-dimensional features on the first surface or the second surface, wherein the three-dimensional features comprise one or more first regions and a plurality of second regions;
• wherein the one or more first regions are different than the plurality of second regions in a value of a first average intensive property, wherein the first average intensive property is basis weight, volumetric density, or caliper;
• wherein a non-white colorant is included in a composition used to create fibers of the non-woven web such that the non-woven web appears white to a human eye, wherein the composition includes 0.15% to 0.4% by weight of the non-white colorant;
• wherein a first portion of the nonwoven web in the first visually discernible pattern has a Single Layer Chroma value in the range of about 1.0 to about 3.5, according to the Delta Chroma and Single Layer Chroma Test;
• and
• wherein the first portion of the nonwoven web in the first visually discernible pattern has a Delta Chroma value in the range of about +0.1 to about +3.5, according to the Delta Chroma and Single Layer Chroma Test;
• and
• a second visually discernible pattern of three-dimensional features on the first surface or the second surface, wherein the three-dimensional features comprise one or more third regions and a plurality of fourth regions, and wherein the one or more third regions are different than the plurality of fourth regions in a value of a second average intensive property.
