The invention relates to a method for designing and manufacturing double-side colored jacquard fabrics by adopting the complementary color principle. The method comprises the steps of pattern plate design and manufacture work procedures and is characterized in that the work procedures comprise the following processes of: A, reading images of jacquard fabrics to be woven into a computer; B, regulating read images, setting parameters and giving out pixel value, wherein the pixel value corresponds to the number of warps and wefts; C, carrying out image modification design and regulation; and D, designing processed images into target patterns and carrying out pattern plate manufacture by using a jacquard fabric computer aided design system. The method has the prominent substantial characteristics that the method adopts the complementary color principle, back side patterns are woven by wefts which are not used by surface patterns, the complementary color relationship is shown, and in addition, the brightness change is shown, so the fabric patterns have the stereovision, in addition, the weft insertion quantity is small, the woven fabrics are in a single-layer structure, the thickness and the heavy weight are avoided, the color is improved, and the patterns are exquisite and elegant.
