Munsell principal and intermediate hues, digital illustration by Fred Hatt<\/p><\/div>\n

I am a person of serial obsessions.\u00a0 Every few years I feel compelled to learn everything I can about some topic, usually something esoteric or scientific.\u00a0 Around 2003-2005, my obsession was color:\u00a0 the science of light and spectra, the biology and psychology of color perception, the technology of color reproduction, ways of naming colors and dividing color space, and philosophical ideas about color.\u00a0 When I had the idea of writing a blog post about color, I started looking through my notes and collections of digital images, making a list of interesting things I’d learned.\u00a0 There was enough there for a book or a semester course!\u00a0 Perhaps in the future there will be more posts on color.\u00a0 For now, I’ve selected a few interesting or lovely images from my collection, and here present them with interesting related factoids.\u00a0 Even if you don’t share my hunger for knowledge about color, I hope you’ll appreciate the beauty of these diagrams.<\/p>\n

I’m titling this post “The Full Gamut” – we’ve all heard that phrase meaning the complete range of something that has varieties.\u00a0 The word gamut originally meant a range of musical notes.\u00a0 It’s used in color science to indicate the limited\u00a0range of colors<\/a> that can be described or reproduced given a certain technological context.\u00a0 A computer monitor, for example, can simulate many colors by combining various intensities of red, green, and blue “primary” colors.\u00a0 The surface colors of most naturally occurring objects can be reproduced, but there remain many colors outside the gamut of the monitor.\u00a0 You can see pure spectral colors<\/a> by looking at the reflections on a CD or DVD.\u00a0 The colors in the image at the top of this post approach the limits of saturation achievable on a monitor, but compared to pure spectral colors they’re surprisingly dull.\u00a0 Even Newton’s prismatic spectrum does not contain the full range of vivid colors – magentas and purples<\/a> cannot be represented by single wavelengths, but only exist as the blending of the opposite ends of the spectrum.<\/p>\n

Color is a three-dimensional phenomenon<\/a>.\u00a0 Every model for describing colors requires three variables: three primaries, or three polarities.\u00a0 For a general understanding of color independent of any particular medium or technology, the clearest dimensions are hue, value (lightness or luminance), and chroma (saturation or intensity).\u00a0 Albert Munsell’s model<\/a> of color space is one of the most illuminating systems, based on rigorous study of human color perceptions rather than on physical or technological variables.\u00a0 In Munsell’s system<\/a>, value is the vertical dimension, hue is the angular dimension, and chroma is shown as the distance from the center.\u00a0 The resulting arrangement of colors is called a color solid, or a color tree.<\/p>\n

The Munsell colors are produced in rigorously accurate sets as books and charts to be used to describe colors by visual reference to standard samples.\u00a0 They come very close to representing the full range (gamut) of colors that can exist in the form of physical objects.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

The “color whee<\/a>l” most people are taught in basic art classes is a rigid and simplistic model compared to Munsell’s color solid.\u00a0 The color wheel doesn’t account for the fact that different hues have different ranges of chroma or intensity, and that some hues (e.g. yellow) achieve their highest chroma at high values, while other colors (e.g. bluish purple) are more intense at a darker value.\u00a0 Munsell’s system defines the hues by letters and numbers, starting with five fundamental hues (red, yellow, green, blue, and purple), and five secondary or intermediate hues (yellow-red, green-yellow, blue-green, purple-blue, and red-purple).\u00a0 The diagram below shows five cross-sections of the Munsell color solid, with the principal hues on the right and the complementary intermediate hues on the left.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Here are the most saturated colors around the perimeter of the Munsell Solid. \u00a0Here, the hue circle is repeated twice along the horizontal axis with the values arranged on the vertical axis.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

If we consider the color solid as a kind of globe, with the neutral grays as the axis, we can look at the irregular shape from a point of view centered above the north (white) pole or the south (black) pole.\u00a0 The colors with maximum chroma are at the outer bound of these polar views, whether they are on the “equator” (middle value perimeter) or not.\u00a0 Please note that the gamut of the computer monitor is considerably smaller than the gamut of the physical samples included in the Munsell standard, so the colors closer to the outside edge of the figures below are not really accurate.\u00a0 You can see that the colors yellow and green achieve high chroma at the higher values, while deep blues and purples are most intense at low values.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Some of the transitions between adjacent colors in the illustration above may seem abrupt, but that’s because of variations in the maximum achievable value or chroma.\u00a0 If we look at the full range of hues at a uniform value and chroma level, as in the circle below, the transitions are very smooth.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

40 Munsell hues at value 7, chroma 8, digital illustration by Fred Hatt<\/p><\/div>\n

This circle is at value 7 and chroma 8, the maximum chroma level achievable all the way around the hue circle at any value in the Munsell solid.\u00a0 We probably all learned in school that Newton proved that light is a waveform, and that different colors are different wavelengths of light.\u00a0 The diagram below charts the level at which the Munsell samples, at the same chroma and value seen in the above illustration, reflect various wavelengths of the spectrum.\u00a0 The horizontal axis goes from short wavelengths (violet blue) at the left, to long wavelengths (red) at the right.\u00a0 You will notice that even these samples, which appear quite vividly colored, are all reflecting almost half the spectrum at over half their average reflectivity.\u00a0 These colors are not “pure”, but they do look intense!<\/p>\n

Munsell’s model arranges colors by measures of equal perceptual distance, but what does that have to do with how we learn to identify and name colors?\u00a0 One of the most cited academic papers of all time is Berlin and Kay’<\/a>s cross-cultural survey of color names.\u00a0 Berlin and Kay used a study of color terms to address the question of linguistic relativity<\/a>, that is, whether linguistic categories define perceptions, or vice versa.\u00a0 They used the highest-chroma Munsell samples of colors at the full range of hues and values, asking participants of various linguistic and cultural backgrounds to choose the “best examples” of their basic color words, and the range these words would cover.\u00a0 The “best examples” were called “focal colors”.\u00a0 In the diagram below, the focal colors are marked as chosen by speakers of American English.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Berlin and Kay found a high degree of uniformity in the specific colors chosen as focal colors between speakers of different languages.\u00a0 They also found evidence that color terms evolve in a given language in a predictable order.\u00a0 First, a distinction is made between dark\/cool and light\/warm.\u00a0 Red is the first individual color to be given a name.\u00a0 Next, green or yellow are distinguished, followed by blue.\u00a0 More complex languages separate brown, purple, pink, orange, and gray.\u00a0 Berlin and Kay’s findings have been challenged and reproduced by many subsequent researchers, using the same Munsell grid.\u00a0 The chart below shows interesting variations on how the color range can be divided, with eight divisions in English and five in a language called Berinmo.<\/p>\n

Below are pretty close representations of the “focal colors” chosen by English speakers.\u00a0 There are eleven basic color terms in English, the eight easily identifiable ones shown below, plus black, gray, and white.\u00a0 Chosen samples of focal colors would be very similar for nearly every language in the industrial world.\u00a0 Why are these colors seen as basic?\u00a0 They are not evenly distributed on the grid of colors, and no one, as far as I know, has been able to show any fundamental relation between these specific colors and any measurable aspect of color vision or color physics.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

You’ll notice that people make finer distinctions in the colors around the red\/yellow portion of the range.\u00a0 Human skin color<\/a> and the colors of most animals are in this area, so perhaps we are more attuned to fine differences there than we are in the blue and green areas associated with the landscape.<\/p>\n

Randall Munroe, author of the classic geek webcomic XKCD<\/a>, conducted an online color-naming experiment, with a random color generator that asks random web participants to name the colors they see.\u00a0 His report on the results<\/a> of the survey is hilarious as well as interesting.\u00a0 Here’s his map of how thousands of participants intuitively divided up the color space.<\/p>\n

Color naming experiments are usually done by showing subjects one color at a time.\u00a0 When the colors are shown together, as in the chart above, or in the Munsell grid illustrating the Berlin and Kay survey, we notice the arbitrariness of the lines we draw to distinguish colors.<\/p>\n

Color perception is a relativistic phenomenon.\u00a0 The book Interaction of Color<\/em><\/a>, by the painter and teacher Josef Albers, shows by example how colors are seen differently according to their surroundings.\u00a0 In the illustration below, the double-x line looks very different depending on its background, but where the line joins we can see its continutiy.<\/p>\n

As an artist, I find it most useful to look at colors as polarities tending one way or another.\u00a0 Many real-life colors are very muted and subtle, but if you can look at a shadow and see, for example, that it has a bluer tone compared to the adjacent highlight’s yellower tone, you can begin to capture those subtleties.<\/p>\n

In photography, it is common to analyze and correct colors using such polarities.\u00a0 The most important one is the color temperature<\/a> axis, what most painters would describe as the warm\/cool distinction.\u00a0 In the study of light, it was observed that the temperature of any incandescent substance, such as a heated piece of metal, could be determined by the color of its glow.\u00a0 White hot is hotter than red hot, and blue hot is hotter still.\u00a0 Color temperature is a scientifically defined scale for describing the color of light on a red\/orange\/white\/blue scale.\u00a0 Typical incandescent lights glow at 2500-3200 degrees kelvin, while daylight is 5000-7500 degrees.\u00a0 The temperature-color correspondence is exactly the opposite of what is taught to artists as warm and cool colors.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Of course, fluorescent lights, neon lights, high-intensity discharge lamps, LEDs, and other non-incandescent sources aren’t defined by the color-temperature scale, so correcting colors from those lights involves a second scale, which photographers call “tint” or “plus green” and “minus green”.\u00a0 Minus green is magenta or pink.\u00a0 A minus green filter, for example, can overcome the tendency of fluorescent lights to photograph as greenish.\u00a0 These two axes<\/a>, orange-blue and green-magenta, are used in filtering for lenses or light sources while shooting, and in digital post-processing of photographs and video recordings.<\/p>\n

In figurative art, I’m always looking at the variations in flesh tones.\u00a0 I find it useful to look at these very subtle differences as tendencies along axes of complementary colors:\u00a0 orange\/blue, magenta\/green, red\/green blue, yellow\/deep blue.<\/p>\n
