Many thanks to Glenn Tait and for their help during the development of this tool with testing and suggestions for improvement.įor Munsell to RGB conversion, a vector of R colors is returned that is the same length as the input data. Thus, the colors you see here are only those that can be displayed relatively accurately on a calibrated monitor and will differ from those found in printed Munsell books. Color data for this tool was taken from the web page, which lists RGB values for those chips which are within the gamut of the sRGB color space. This is version 0.5 of the Virtual Munsell Color Wheel. You can select/copy/paste these values into your favorite design tool (e.g., the Photoshop color chooser). If you click on the square, the box at the lower right will display the color you selected in 3 formats: Munsell notation, RGB decimal, and RGB hexadecimal. Within the hue page at the top of the screen, hover your mouse over any square to see the Munsell notation for that square: Hue Value/Chroma. Click on a square to choose that hue page the upper portion of the screen will change to show you a “hue page” showing your selected hue at various values and chromas. At the bottom of this tool you will see a circle of hue squares. Detailed information about Munsell as a color space can be found elsewhere on the web (I recommend and ). The is a simple online tool that lets you browse the Munsell color notation in your web browser.
