A Color Notation: An Illustrated System Defining All Colors and Their Relations by Measured Scales of Hue, Value, and Chroma

67 pp. Black-and-white photographic frontispiece, twelve figures in text. Includes appendices discussing color in the sciences, traditional color names, color groups (with a chart of hue limits, value limits, and chroma limits), a glossary of color terms, a table of luminous reflectances for Munsell values, a list of applications of the system, and a general index. Munsell was an American painter, teacher of art, and the inventor of the Munsell color system, an early attempt at creating an accurate system for numerically describing colors. The Munsell color order system has gained international acceptance and has served as the foundation for many color order systems.
