Munsell ofrece escalas de colores para diversar aplicaciones en ingeniería de suelos, tejidos vegetales, piedras preciosas, etc..

Cada color cuenta con tres cualidades o atributos fundamentales, matiz, intensidad y croma, a partir de ello Alber H. Munsell estableció escalas numéricas para cada uno de dichos atributos.

 

With 1,605 colors, this is the most useful color guide there is! Ideal for evidence collection, the hue, value and chroma scales in the Munsell Book of Color make it easy to evaluate and compare the color of virtually any material. And, because the chips are removable, you can quickly compare and coordinate colors with ease.

The guide is arranged on 40 constant hue charts (2.5, 5, 7.5 and 10 positions of each hue) plus 4 Munsell Gray charts.

Value Range: 2/ to 9/ in whole steps, with 8.5/ added to Y charts.

Chroma Range: /2 to maximum achievable in equal steps of 2. Also includes 37-step Neutral Value Scale.

Chart Size: 12” x 9.75”. Chip Size: 3/4” x 1-5/8”.

 

This revised edition features the same colors available in previous books plus additional color charts. Included are a 10Y and 5GY soil chart for glauconite soils, a 5R soil chart for Australia and Southeast Asia, and a 7.5R soil chart for tropical and semi-tropical soils. A Munsell high value, low chroma ”white” page shows half steps from 8.5 to 9.5 in value with chromas of 1 and 2 for N, 7.5YR, 10YR, and 2.5Y. Use this page to describe carbonate, silica, gypsum, and soluble salt precipitates and evaporites common to arid and semi-arid environments as well as very light-colored parent materials such as diatomaceous earth and volcanic ash. The book’s light gray pages decrease sun glare. The color chips are recessed into each water-resistant page to allow dirt and debris to be wiped off easily with less effect on the color chips. 2009 Revised Edition.

Chart Size: 6” x 8”.
