Archaeologists use Munsell books to describe soil colour all the time. I never thought to dig deeper into this colour system!

*Atlas of the Munsell Color System* (1915)
Munsell envisioned his atlas as a system akin to musical notation, which would liberate visual description from commercially-driven colour names.

281. Archaeologists use the Munsell system to describe soil colours when excavating. I'm interested in how Munsell charts might be applied to the Moon.

Look at this delightful, bananas thing: munsell.com/about-munsel... This is a color solid. Basically, some scientists at the Munsell Color Corporation measured and mapped all the colors that we see in 3D! You'll notice it's not a sphere--that's because we see "more" of some colors than others. (9/n)

Munsell color selection for soils is always a best fit scenario. Here are 2 different soils in color & grayscale. Its the best system we've got. Whoever does the Munsell determination should be selected for consistency & majority agreement. #Archaeology #soils

I have a joke about the Munsell Color System but it’s broken off into rainbows. 🌈
I have a joke about the Stroop effect but it’s off-color.
