Summary

"A Color Notation" by A. H. Munsell is a non-fiction exploration of color theory designed to bring clarity to the world of color communication. The book introduces a system built upon the core elements of hue, value, and chroma. Aiming to replace the imprecise language often used to describe colors, Munsell develops a three-dimensional model, like the color sphere, to map out colors in a logical way. The early part of the book establishes the need for a clear color notation system, describing the book's structure as an educational tool to illustrate the complexities of color in education and artistic fields. The author presents their work for those seeking a more orderly approach to understanding and using color.
