Here, his foundational text on colour theory is paired with fifteen full-colour plates from his colour atlas.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMunsell was a painter and teacher who was frustrated with the lack of consistency across colour science. His written work \u003cem\u003eA Color Notation\u003c\/em\u003e, first published in 1905, established a way of categorising colour by three dimensions: hue, value (lightness), and chroma (purity). These elements could be used to produce any particular colour or differentiate between those of the same character. The innovative theory offered insights into colour harmony and the relationships between certain colours, creating a way to name any colour exactly, and to describe how each stood in relation to the rest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMunsell's system spurred significant advancements in colour science, art, and design, and became the foundation for much of modern colour theory alongside works published by Michel Chevreul and Ogden Rood. This edition combines \u003cem\u003eA Color Notation\u003c\/em\u003e (1905) with all fifteen full-colour plates from \u003cem\u003eAtlas of the Munsell Color System\u003c\/em\u003e (1915), an introduction by Munsell, and an essay on colour by Bonnie E. Snow.
