Munsell Book of Color, Glossy Edition provides
the ultimate flexibility in designing bright vibrant color palettes. It’s
based on A.H. Munsell’s original “master atlas” of color and includes two volumes with over 1600 removable glossy
Munsell color chips.
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 CIE Lab. 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.
