About this book

A request for a precise wallpaper shade exposes the problem at the heart of this handbook: everyday color names can mean different things to different people. A. H. Munsell proposes measured scales of hue, value, and chroma, giving artists and teachers a way to describe colors more consistently. His explanations connect the naming of shades with instruments, charts, color mixtures, and the arrangement of a color sphere.

Classroom teaching has a prominent place in the book. Munsell argues that children should begin with balanced colors and reliable points of comparison, rather than try to reproduce the brightest flowers with pigments. Examples of pupils' work and a course arranged for nine years of school life join the technical discussion. Readers interested in art education can follow how measurement becomes a practical method for training observation and judging color harmony.
