Matching each of these parameters as close as possible is essential to perform accurate RAL to Munsell or Munsel to RAL color conversion. Munsell’s system is based on five parameters: hue, value ( lightness), chroma ( color purity), tone (also called saturation), and shade (or tint). It combined aspects of the most popular systems of that time to create a three-dimensional model that provides more accurate color representation than either system alone. The Munsell color system is a color order system created by Professor Albert H.
