Atlas of the Munsell color system

Munsell, A. H. (Albert Henry), 1858-1918 · 1915 · [Malden, Mass., Wadsworth, Howland & Co., inc., Printers] · 4 pictures

Munsell's Atlas of the Munsell color system, published in Malden, Massachusetts in 1915 by Wadsworth, Howland & Co., is a numbered set of color charts for artists, designers and color students. The pictures are flat printed grids of colored squares arranged by hue, value and chroma, such as radial wheels and stepped scales, which a designer could use as a reference for systematic palette building and for judging how neighbouring tones shift in lightness and saturation.
