13. Color Name Charts

Pages 16 to 31.

How to use the color-name charts

Given: Munsell renotation of sample.

Required: The color designation.

First: Turn to the particular name chart containing the Munsell hue of the renotation (see upper right-hand corner of name chart), or if the hue falls on two successive charts, use both of them.

Second: Find the point on the chart defined by the Munsell value and Munsell chroma of the renotation; or, if two charts are used, plot the point on both of them.

Third: Read the color designation of the block within which the point falls. If it falls on a hue, value, or chroma boundary between blocks, read color designations of all blocks touching the point.
