A Color Notation

A Color Notation, written by A.H. Munsell, proposes a revolutionary system of color classification that is still in use today, which categorizes color through three dimensions: hue, value, and chroma, instead of just two. This scientific approach enables an accurate and easy duplication of any color, and its sequential development allows for a logical understanding of color relations. Munsell's use of distinctly scientific methods makes it possible to establish an exact and definite system of color essentials. The book includes detailed information on color names, qualities, mixtures, prismatic colors, pigment color spheres, and color harmony, all accompanied by informative appendices.
