In [[colorimetry]], the '''Munsell color system''' is a color space that specifies colors based on three color dimensions: hue, value (lightness), and chroma (color purity).

It was created by Professor [[Albert H. Munsell]] in the first decade of the 20th century and adopted by the USDA as the official color system for [[soil]] research in the 1930s.

== Description ==

Several earlier color order systems had placed colors into a three-dimensional color solid of one form or another, but Munsell was the first to separate hue, value, and chroma into perceptually uniform and independent dimensions, and was the first to systematically illustrate the colors in three-dimensional space.

Munsell’s system, particularly the later renotations, is based on rigorous measurements of human subjects’ visual responses to color, putting it on a firm experimental scientific basis.

Because of this basis in human visual perception, Munsell’s system has outlasted its contemporary color models, and though it has been superseded for some uses by models such as CIELAB (L*a*b*) and CIECAM02, it is still in wide use today.
