Munsell Book of Color, Nearly Neutrals Edition is
a plethora of pastels with nearly 1,200 permanently mounted matte Nearly Neutral Munsell color chips, including
an entire page of nothing but near whites. We permanently
mount the chips to keep them clean longer. Matte
Nearly Neutral chips are more susceptible to dirt and oils from handling. But you
can still obtain 8.5” x 11” sheets of any color from the nearly neutrals collection.
Design made easy…
It’s
not always easy to visualize how your palette will look on the final product. Size,
proportion and other variables affect the way your palette will look. Munsell
can help with larger 8.5” x 11” color sheets. Any color
chip from the books of color can be accurately reproduced in the larger format.
The
sheets are perfect for simulating proportion. You can
also cut them into individual samples for your suppliers.
Why is Munsell the system of choice by many designers?
Munsell
a visually organized system.
That means it’s designed for the way
your eyes see color.
Remember ROY G BIV… or the popular color
wheel you learned about in design school? That’s
the way the Munsell system is organized – the same way you see color.
The
color development process is also based on the logic of the Munsell system… except it’s referred to as CIELab.
That means it’s designed for the way
color is manufactured in plastics, coatings or textiles. Plus,
the accuracy and consistency of Munsell color chips make them ideal for specifying color throughout the supply
chain.
