Color Notation

Book cover
By: (1858-1918)

Color Notation by Albert Henry Munsell is a comprehensive guide to understanding color theory and notation. Munsell's system of organizing and categorizing colors based on hue, value, and chroma is as relevant and influential today as it was when the book was first published in 1915.

The book provides a clear and detailed explanation of the Munsell color system, making it accessible for both beginners and experienced artists or designers. The illustrations and examples throughout the book effectively demonstrate how to apply Munsell's principles in practice.

One of the strengths of Color Notation is Munsell's emphasis on the perceptual aspects of color, helping readers better understand how colors interact and how to create harmonious color schemes. Additionally, Munsell's approach encourages creativity and experimentation, rather than simply following strict rules.

Overall, Color Notation is a valuable resource for anyone interested in color theory, design, or art. Its timeless principles and practical applications make it a must-read for those looking to deepen their understanding of color.

Book Description:
A Color Notation is a method developed by A. H. Munsell in order to produce a unified system of color classification. The system identifies three color dimensions hue , value , and chroma and was the first to base the outcome on a scientifically rigorous method of testing humans' color vision. The three dimensions are depicted on a color sphere with pure hue changing around the equator, value changing from light to dark from the north to the south pole, and chroma varying on the inside of the sphere towards the neutral grey of the north-south axis. The Munsell system is still widely used today, for example to define skin and hair colors for forensic pathology, for matching soil colors, or for the selection of shades for dental restorations. .
