Munsell Color Education

Munsell Color Education Products present Munsell Color Theory in unique formats that optimize the learning experience from static charts to three-dimensional models including the Munsell Hue, Value, Chroma Poster and Munsell Color Tree.

Each tool depicts Munsell color space in a unique format that optimizes the learning experience from static color space charts and three dimensional models to an interactive learning kit—ideal for teaching color space in classrooms.  After all, Albert H. Munsell was an educator in addition to being an artist.

Get a Hands-On Perspective of Color Space Models From any of the Following Munsell Color Space Tools

As an artist and an educator, Albert H. Munsell transformed complex color theory into a simple, practical system using color space charts and models.  Munsell color space models are still used today to educate business, government and academia on color theory and the value of color.  After all, Albert H. Munsell was an educator in addition to being an artist.

A Crash Course in Munsell Color Space...

Albert H. Munsell was an artist and an educator.  He developed his color theory to bring clarity to color communication by establishing an orderly system for accurately identifying every color that exists.  Munsell based his system on what he defined as “perceived equidistance” — the human visual system’s perception of color.  Munsell color order system is based on a three-dimensional model depicted in the Munsell color tree.  Each color has three qualities or attributes:

1. Hue – color such as red, orange, yellow, etc.
2. Value – the lightness or darkness of a color
3. Chroma – the saturation or brilliance of a color

Hue, value and chroma are also referred to as (HVC).  The Munsell Color system is set up as a numerical scale with visually uniform steps for each of the three color attributes—in Munsell notation, each color has a logical and visual relationship to all other colors.  Thanks to Munsell color space, you can bring order and logic to your color palettes.  Munsell Color provides a quick and easy tool to help you visualize how the colors will come together.

Interactive Learning Kit

The Fundamentals of Color Interactive Student Set makes color come alive. There’s never been an easier, more effective way to explain the complexities of color physics than with these easy-to-use tools. For example, instead of just defining the word— the kit lets you experience the effect of metamerism on an actual color sample. It answers questions like “How can a color look different but still be the same?”(The answer may surprise you.)

Use it alone or with our Fundamentals of Color reference book. Perfect for students, new hires and anyone working with color.
