Munsell Color System

The Munsell Color System is a three-dimensional model based on the premise that each color has three qualities or attributes: hue, value and chroma. Each color has a specific Munsell scientific color notation along these three axes; the system uses numerical scales with visually uniform steps to measure and identify the amount of each of these attributes in any given color. This leads to nearly endless creative possibilities in color choices, as well as the ability to precisely communicate these choices.
