    * xyY values are transformed to D50/2° CIELab. Other colors spaces are using this D50/2° Lab value as base for further conversions.

  • Real.dat

    Rochester Institute of Technology. Program of Color Science. Munsell Renotation Data.

    These are real colors only, "real" being those lying inside the Macadam limits. Specifically, these are those colors listed the original 1943 renotation article (Newhall, Judd, and Nickerson, JOSA, 1943).

  • All.dat

    Rochester Institute of Technology. Program of Color Science. Munsell Renotation Data.

    These are all the Munsell data, including the extrapolated colors. Note that extrapolated colors are in some cases unreal. That is, some lie outsize the Macadam limits.

  • 2007 Munsell Book of Color (Glossy Finish)

    Centore, P. (2020). Munsell Resources

    Measurements of X-Rite's 2007 Munsell Book of Color (Glossy Finish). The measurements were made in 2012 with a ColorMunki spectrophotometer.

    The Munsell chart is based on the Munsell notation, and not on the measured data. All other colors spaces are using the measured D50 Lab data from DEsAndConversionsforMunsell2007Measurements.txt.
